Why are batteries and inverters important components in solar panels?

A solar panel consists of hundreds or thousands of photovoltaic cells, because a single solar cell can only generate about 0.5 volts, which is much lower than the voltage required for practical use. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of practical applications, it is necessary to connect solar cells into modules.

A solar panel contains a certain number of solar cells, which are connected by wires. If the number of solar cells on a module is 36, it means that a solar module can generate about 17 volts. Therefore, the battery is one of the important components in the solar panel. When the application field requires higher voltage and current and a single component cannot meet the requirements, multiple components can be formed into a square array of solar panels to obtain the required voltage and current.

In addition to solar cells, the inverter is also an important component in the solar photovoltaic module power generation system. The inverter is a device that converts direct current into alternating current, and the solar photovoltaic module power generation system is the process of converting solar energy into electric energy.
