Technical FAQs 4

Do solar panels use AC or DC?

Solar panels generate DC (Direct Current) electricity when sunlight hits them. However, homes and the electrical grid use AC (Alternating Current). This difference means that, in most solar systems, the DC power produced by your solar panels must be converted into AC for use in your home or to send back to the grid. That’s where inverters come in.

What is the difference between a DC and AC Solar System?

In the world of solar energy, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. DC Coupled systems are great for efficiency, especially in off-grid scenarios where energy storage is key. AC Coupled systems, on the other hand, provide flexibility and are ideal for retrofits or expanding an existing system.

Should I choose a DC or AC Solar System?

If efficiency is your top priority—especially for an off-grid setup—a DC Coupled system is likely the better choice. But if flexibility and expandability are more important to you, especially for retrofitting an existing solar system, an AC Coupled system may be a better fit. In the world of solar energy, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

What is a DC Solar combiner box?

A DC solar combiner box is used on the DC side of a solar power system, right before the inverter. Its job? To centralize the outputs of multiple PV (photovoltaic) strings into a single, manageable line. This simplifies the flow of power from the solar panels to the inverter.
