Photovoltaic system
OverviewComponentsModern systemOther systemsCosts and economyRegulationLimitationsGrid-connected photovoltaic system
A photovoltaic system for residential, commercial, or industrial energy supply consists of the solar array and a number of components often summarized as the balance of system (BOS). This term is synonymous with "Balance of plant" q.v. BOS-components include power-conditioning equipment and structures for mounting, typically one or more DC to AC power converters, also known as inverters, an energy storage device,
