System Components
Discover the main components required to convert, manage and use the electricity produced by a flexible photovoltaic panel.
More than a photovoltaic panel
A complete photovoltaic system combines the solar panel with compatible electrical equipment that manages, stores or delivers the generated energy according to the requirements of each installation.
Charge Controller
Regulates the electricity produced by the panel and manages the charging process in systems that include battery storage.
Battery Storage
Stores available solar energy for use when sunlight is limited or when electricity is required at a later time.
Flexible Solar Panel
The central energy-producing component converts sunlight into direct-current electricity for use by the rest of the photovoltaic system.
Solar Inverter
Converts direct-current electricity from the panel or battery into alternating current for compatible electrical devices and installations.
Cables & Protection
Suitable cables, connectors, isolators and protection devices support safe and reliable electrical operation.
How the system works
The exact configuration depends on whether the installation is autonomous, battery-based or connected to another electrical system.
Sunlight
Solar radiation reaches the photovoltaic cells.
Power Generation
The panel produces direct-current electrical energy.
Energy Management
The controller, battery or inverter manages the available power.
Energy Use
Electricity is supplied to compatible devices or stored for later use.
