Types of Solar Panel Systems

• Solar panel systems may be categorized into four
  primary types. These types of systems may be
  designed to meet all or part of the user's
  electrical requirements

1. Standalone DC System
2. Standalone AC-DC System
3. Backup AC System
4. Utility Interconnected System (Grid-tied)

Standalone DC System

• Standalone type systems are usually a utility
  power substitute. They generally include solar
  charging modules, storage batteries and controls
  including a charge regulator. A small standalone
  DC system is an excellent replacement for
  kerosene lamps and noisy generators in a remote
  home, a recreational vehicle, or a boat. In this
  system a photovoltaic (PV) array charges the
  battery during daylight hours and the battery
  supplies power to the loads when needed. The
  charge regulator terminates the charging when the
  battery reaches full charge.

2. Standalone AC- DC System

• This system is the same as the previous system,
  except for the use of a DC to AC inverter. With
  the addition of an inverter, commonly available
  household appliances such as computers, power
  tools, vacuum cleaners, washing machines and
  kitchen appliances can be solar powered.
• High quality DC to AC inverters are available
  with power outputs ranging from one hundred watts
  to ten kilowatts and more, and conversion
  efficiencies greater than 90 percent. Most larger
  inverters also have the ability to serve as
  battery chargers from a backup generator when
  more power is needed than can be supplied by the
  solar modules.

3. Backup AC System

• A backup AC solar electric system will usually
  have a photovoltaic (PV) array of ten or more
  modules, a battery bank, and one or more
  inverters. The utility will backup the solar and
  run the loads when available and needed. If
  utility power fails, the power from the battery
  bank is available to the system.

4. Utility Interconnected System (Grid-tied)

• These are the simplest systems and require no
  batteries because they are designed not for
  backup power but to contribute power back into
  the existing power supply. A typical system might
  include solar modules, a mounting structure, and
  AC inverter/control for the power to be fed back
  through the building's 120/208/240 volt AC power
  distribution system.
