Technology
MAIN COMPONENTS:
Solar PV Technology has three main component groups: Structures, Modules, Inverters.
STRUCTURES:
The Ashwood modules are fixed in orientation, tilted to maximize the path of the sun across the sky.
MODULES:
Modules contain a semiconductor material that can convert sunlight into electricity. Electricity is collected in bus-bars and fed into the direct current (DC) system of a PV Farm.
INVERTERS:
The inverter receives direct current (DC) input from all the modules. DC input is then converted to alternating current (AC) output and fed directly into the electric grid. The inverter controls the solar PV farm by setting the maximum power point of the overall plant.
