When thinking about a solar PV system, the most obvious components are understandably the solar PV panels themselves.
But without a number of other components, often working away in silence out of view, the solar system would not function to its full potential – at all!
Some solar PV components are essential – every solar system needs them. Other components are optional, and homeowners can decide whether adding them would suit their individual needs.
