PV Solar systems are offered in two configurations:

1)      Static – All PV panels fixed and positioned toward the most appropriate direction associated with the sun’s path (To maximize the effectiveness of the energy conversion)

2)      Tracking – All PV panels automatically track the sun’s path, to increase the number of hours that the panels are perpendicular to the sun in its path. The tracking is offered in single axis (East\West) or two axes (East\West + South\North).

 

A typical Solar energy systems consists of the following components:

1)      Mechanical Structure

2)      PV panels

3)      DC to AC inverters

4)      Communication system for inspection and control of system’s performance

5)      Electrical wirings, consoles and safety apparatuses (manual\automatic mechanisms)

6)      Infrastructure cabling to connect the system to the grid.
