A solar kit consists of key hardware, primarily solar panels, inverter, charge controller (if applicable) and battery. The most important benefit of a kit is that the components that have been put together are known to work together. A solar kit is a good way to implement a good solar PV project at an affordable pace

Choosing the right wire sizes in your Solar PV system is essential for both performance and safety reasons. If the wires are undersized, there will be a significant voltage drop in the wires resulting in substantial power loss. Also, if the wires are undersized, there is a risk that the wires may heat up to the point in which a fire may result.

  What is a charge controller? A solar charge controller is a regulator for your solar battery that prevents it from overcharging. Batteries are rated for a certain voltage, and exceeding that voltage can lead to permanent battery damage.   Types of solar charge controllers There are two types of charge controllers to consider: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controllers and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controllers. PWM controllers are generally less expensive and can only be used for smaller systems where the voltage of your solar...
