Solar power system components

The following diagram shows the major components in a typical solar power system.

A basic solar powered system is made up of solar panels, solar regulator, batteries and power inverter:

The solar panel converts sunlight into DC power or electricity to charge the battery. This DC electricity/(charge) is controlled via a solar regulator which ensures the battery is charged properly and not damaged and that power is not lost/(discharged). DC appliances can then be powered directly from the battery, but AC appliances need a power inverter to convert the DC electricity into 220 Volt AC power.
