Chalet, house, camper, VR, boat, regardless of the type of equipment, the solar systems installed there are composed of the same basic elements:
-Solar (s) Panel (s)
-Regulator
-Battery (s)
-Inverter
We suggest that you review the different parts and travel from the rayon of the sun from the sign to the inverter * in order to better understand this type of technology.
Solar (s) Panel (x)
The solar panels (s) are the source of energy input into the system. The sun's rays are picked up by silicon cells that react by producing energy that will flow to the batteries according to the rate the regulator has set.
Interesting facts:
A sign can generate an X number of Watt, this is called its “power”.
A gathering of photovoltaic panels is also called a solar field.
To learn plus about the solar panels and their maintenance, I invite you to read the following article:

The regulator:
As mentioned plus top, the regulator is the one that “regulate”, that manages the energy captured by the panels and that pends it into the batteries according to the capacity of the two devices.
A real link between the source and the reservoir, it is chosen according to:
-The power of the panels of its system system
-The tension of the batteries bench that accompanies it
We can never repeat enough the importance of having a good regulator, because it is really the device that allows you to get the best out of your acolytes.
Other technical aspects are to be considered when buying a regulator. To learn plus, we advise you to read the article that talks about it up and down: https://www.altenergie.ca/blogue-articles/comment-choisir-son-regulateur-ou-comment-percer-le-mystere-du-bon-regulateur
Battery:
You can see the battery as a reservoir where you store your energy. So plus the reserve capacities are great, plus we can accumulate.
It would be difficult to sum up tous the types of “tanks” if you want in a few words. Here is an article that gives plus detail the different types of battery and factors to consider depending on the location of its installation. Some types are plus compact, others easy maintenance, etc.
We would say that there are no bad batteries in itself, that it is rather the use that we want to make of them that will determine whether we have the right one for us or not. We leave you the freedom to see for yourself: https://www.altenergie.ca/blogue-articles/comment-choisir-sa-batterie-labc-des-types-de-batteries
The inverter:
We would be encouraged to put the inverter as an option since it is not compulsory for the proper functioning of a solar energy system. It is rather a device that makes the link between it and the electronic devices in your house. If your system is only used to run lighting and recharge batteries, chances are high that you won't need it.
On the other hand, if it is to operate devices such as a TV, an internet router, a fridge or other devices that can be found at house, you will need them.
As the name suggests, the device “waves” the energy accumulated in the batteries so as to give 120V, which is found in most homes in Quebec and North America.
It is found in pure and modified sinus. To fully understand the difference and other technical characteristics to take into account, here is the link to the article where it is explained: https://www.altenergie.ca/blogue-articles/la-piece-de-resistance-londuleur
Of course, other elements are present in solar systems such as cables and security devices such as fuses and circuit breakers. These devices depend on the strength of the system and will also be the subject of blog posts.
