17. PARTS OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
module
The most important component of
the plant is the module. A module
consists of several interlinked cells,
which generate electricity from
sunlight.

18. PARTS OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
ARRAY
Modules are form together to form
an array.

19. PARTS OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
INVERTER
The inverter is responsible for
converting the DC current from the
modules to alternating current, so
that the electricity can be fed into
the public electricity grid.

20. PARTS OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
BATTERY
It serves as a reserved energy
source every time the greed is
offline and can power their
respective areas up to 7 days.

TRANSFORMER
POWER GIRD
It distributes electricity to a battery
and transmission lines.

22. PARTS OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
TRANSMISSION
LINESIt distributes the electricity throughout the area and serve as
the main line of connection of electricity

23. SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
 After receiving charged
electron from the solar
panel through the
inverter, the grid
distributes electricity to a
battery and transmission
lines.

 The battery serves as a
reserved energy source
every time the greed is
offline and can power
their respective areas up
to 7 days.

 The other connection is
from the transmission
lines that distributes the
electricity `throughout the
area and serve as the main
line of connection of
electricity.

26. SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
 The electricity flowing
through the transmission
lines then go through small
transformers to a certain
area and regulates the flow
of electricity going in every
respective houses that is
connected to the
transformer.

27. SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
 After electricity has been
used, the charged electron
loses its charged and
returns to the solar panel to
be charged again and the
process is repeated.
