Solar Made Simple for NYC: What’s Inside Photovoltaic (PV) Panel Kits
If cost and space weren’t barriers, would you install solar today? Why or why not?
As the NYC metro area moves toward clean energy, understanding solar technology is essential for homeowners and businesses. What is a photovoltaic (PV) panel? It’s the component that converts sunlight into electricity—your first step toward energy independence.
But panels alone aren’t enough. What is a solar inverter? It’s the device that transforms DC power from your panels into AC power for your home or business. Without it, your solar system can’t run everyday appliances.
How do solar inverters work? They regulate voltage and frequency, ensuring safe and efficient energy flow. Think of them as the brains behind your solar setup.
Types of Solar Inverters
String Inverters – Cost-effective for roofs with uniform sunlight.
Microinverters – Ideal for shaded or complex roofs; panel-level optimization.
Hybrid Inverters – Combine solar and battery storage for maximum flexibility.
How to choose the right inverter? Consider roof shading, system size, and whether you plan to add battery storage later.
Will you find an inverter in a PV panel kit? Often yes—especially in complete kits. Expect panels, inverter, mounting hardware, wiring, and sometimes monitoring tools for performance tracking.
