Connecting Solar Panels To Mains Supply

This is achieved by wiring the solar panels to the existing electrical supply of the home.

Connecting solar panels to mains supply.

Be it as the main source of energy or as a back up to the popular power outages experienced on main grid power supplies. Particularly if you re lucky enough to have renewable energy rebates in your country and many do including the usa uk canada and australia. Now connect a power inlet or 3 pin power socket to the second mcb by using 6 awg 7 064 or 16mm 2. However if you are switching entirely to the solar power you will have to purchase and install batteries that store the solar power for use at night.

For this method switch off both the main switches mcb of main power supply and the secondary mcb where generator has to be connected. The installation process is same as mentioned above but without mts manual transfer or changeover siwtch. Step 3 connect the solar panels either directly to a power inverter and then connect it to the home grid or connect the inverter to the battery and then to the home power grid. However if you are switching entirely to the solar power you will have to purchase and install batteries that store the solar power for use at night.

Grid connect solar power is usually the most suitable and economical choice for premises with an existing mains supply. Solar energy is as well used to heat. We will learn how to connect solar panels to battery through an inverter to output ac current. Solar panels create dc power but the home uses ac power so it has to be converted via an electrical inverter and then that is wired to the home.
