How to add equipment to solar on-site energy

You need solar panels, inverters, racking equipment, and performance monitoring equipment to go solar. You also might want an energy storage system (aka solar battery), especially if you live in an area that doesn't have net metering.

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.

If a utility restricts the exports from a facility to the grid, the use of on-site storage alongside solar PV can provide a solution to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, thus increasing the feasibility of larger on-site PV installations.

Use solar power to save you money and reduce your carbon footprint. The most common on-site renewable energy systems are solar-powered. Solar setups convert light energy from the sun into electrical current. They can be installed in sun-facing areas such as rooftops, external walls or parking lots.

This nifty piece of solar energy equipment reports the hourly electricity production of your solar system. In addition to being a fun way to watch your panels power your home, monitoring systems allow you to recognize potential performance issues and ensure maximum electricity production.

Captures energy from the sun. Transfers solar energy into usable energy. Mounts your solar panels to your roof. Allows you to track the amount of energy your solar panels generate. Stores excess electricity for use later on. Your primary equipment decision is the brand and type of panels for your system.
