How A Solar Powered System Works
What makes up a homebuilt solar powered system and its individual parts - From the panels to the inverter.
By the end of this section you should understand the basics of what it takes to make a solar panel system, and how the pieces all come together.
Part 1. The Solar Panel: This is pretty straight-forward, we've all seen a solar panel before. With a good set of plans you'll be able to build a panel that looks like it was bought from a store, not built at home.
All the solar panel does is collect the rays from the sun and convert it into electricity.
Part 2. The Charge Controller: From the solar panel the electricity travels down the wire to the charge controller that will feed the power into the batteries.
A charge controller will also make sure that you don't overcharge your batteries, and help you monitor the amount of power stored in the batteries.
Part 3. The Batteries: Power is simply stored in the batteries for later use. You can also run D/C appliances directly from your batteries.
Do not even think about using old car batteries, as these were not meant to be recharged on a regular basis, go with lead-acis batteries that are deep cycle.
Part 4. The Inverter: Now that we have all that power stored in our batteries we need to take the D/C power and convert it into A/C power that can be used to power virtually anything in your household.
All the inverter does is convert from D/C to A/C, allowing you to plug in and use the power your solar panels generate.

There is a difference between solar plans
Just a little heads up for people looking to buy a set of plans to help them build their solar panels.
We have only found 1 set of plans that honestly take you from part 1 to part 4, and those are the ones offered at GreenDiyEnergy.
All the other plans will teach you how to make a solar panel, but thats really about it, they breifly tell you the other 3 parts, but don't actually show you how to set it up.
So, if you want the complete solar power system plans, then do yourself a favor and get the correct plans from the beginning. You can order the complete plans by follwing this link.
