The power grid and almost every equipment that uses electricity uses alternating current (AC) while solar modules - either individually or when connected together - generate Direct Current (DC). Therefore it is extremely important to switch the DC power being generated from solar power with an inverter into useable AC power. Thus a solar inverter actually “inverts” DC to AC to operate all types of common electrical loads from lights and fans to air-conditioners and heavy machinery without interruption.

In common reference a solar module is the same as a solar panel. Solar panels they are usually seen on rooftops of homes or businesses, but they can also exist as large arrays on open fields are even used to power satellites in outer space. Solar panel prices have fallen over the last few years to a point where power from solar photovoltaic solutions is now cheaper than buying power from your electricity company. The advances in technology have also made them easy to integrate in our daily modern lives and to boost socio-economic development.

As remote, off grid systems with large PV arrays become more common, demand for solar battery banks is growing. Designing and installing a bank of solar batteries is more than simply adding rows of batteries to increase capacity. Solar battery banks require proper battery selection and a careful analysis of the available products and trade-offs to build a high-performance system with a long life.

The Solar panel mounting structures are designed for holding suitable number of modules in series or parallel at the optimum angle. Solar mounting is often an underrated part of the system but is an important engineering design aspect of the entire solution. Quality solar mounting structures must be uniquely designed to support either ground mount systems or roof top installations each having their own set of engineering considerations. The frames and legs of the solar mounting array can be a mix of concrete structures and mild steel or polymers with suitable angles, channels and tubes to meet the design criteria. All nuts & bolts considered for fastening modules with these structures should hold it together for lasting durability. Sunipod’s solar panel clamping systems and associated mounting channels are also engineered for installer safety with long term installation in mind. Sunipod solar panel mounting structures are designed to maximize space utilization without sacrificing the output from SPV panels. Special theft retardant fasteners can be added if there is an added requirement for security.

The Sunipod solar weather station measures and records wind speed and direction, air temperature and relative humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, and rain specifically for solar power generation applications.

Solar Combiner boxes are used to combine the inputs from multiple strings of solar panels into one output circuit for connection to the inverter. Sometimes this is also called as Photovoltaic (PV) Combiner Box. On a single-line diagram, the solar photovoltaic combiner boxes look like a "reverse-fed distribution board". Instead of breaking one feeder into multiple branch circuits, the combiner “combines” multiple branch feeds from solar strings and groups them into one output. This output in turn serves as an input for the inverter. Sunipod’s combiner boxes support from one PV panel to many in series, and ranging from a single low voltage panel to multi-panel high voltage arrays for all systems.
