Every Greenlink Solar energy system has five major components, each playing an integral role in providing electricity to your home, office or building.
Solar Modules are the principal component of the energy system. When connected, multiple modules create a solar array. The larger the array, the more electricity the solar energy system produces. Solar modules are roof mounted, in clear view of the sun. Sunlight is converted into Direct Current (DC) power through solar cells in the Alternating Current (AC) photovoltaic panels. Solar modules also reduce heat being absorbed, minimising the need for air conditioning.
DC power, generated by the solar modules, enters the power inverter and is converted from DC power to AC power, the same type of electricity that is sent by the utility grid and used by homes and businesses in Australia.
Before the AC power reaches your home, it is received by the electrical service panel and then distributed to any electrical loads in your home.
This is the bridge to your self-generation solar energy system. It measures the difference of the amount of electricity sent from the utility grid to your home and how much electricity you produce. If your solar energy system generates more power than you use, your utility meter passes excess through your meter and back into the utility grid.
