Can a solar PV system connect to a domestic electrical supply?

Solar energy, a clean and renewable source of power, is becoming increasingly popular for domestic use. Many homeowners are curious about how they can integrate solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into their existing electrical setup. In this blog, we will guide you through the process of connecting a Solar PV system to your domestic electrical supply.

How does a solar power system work?

Depending on your chosen setup, you may have to connect the solar battery and inverter to your circuit breaker panel and fuse box to run into the home. Each connection in the breaker box will connect to different sections of your home, allowing you to send power from the solar power system into your entire house.

Can a photovoltaic system be used as an additional supply source?

This article will look at a typical photovoltaic installation and highlight the risks that are associated with connecting a PV system as an additional supply source. Photovoltaic (PV) panels are a common sight on the roofs of domestic properties, in towns and cities across the UK.

How to connect solar panels together?

After learning about the parts of a Solar PV System, let's talk about how to connect the solar panels together. This process is called wiring. You can connect solar panels in two ways: in a line (series) or side-by-side (parallel). In a series, you join the end of one panel with the start of the next one.

How does a solar PV system work?

As shown in Fig 1, the PV system incorporates a number of PV modules which convert the energy of solar radiation emitted by the sun into electrical energy by means of the photovoltaic effect. The modules are connected into series ‘strings’ to provide the required output voltage and arranged into one or more arrays.

How does a solar inverter work?

It changes the type of electricity your solar panels make into the type your house can use. Usually, the inverter is placed near your main electrical panel. This helps make the connection to your home's electrical system easier. Once it's in place, the wires from your solar panels connect to the inverter.
