- Solar inverter: For converting DC electricity into usable AC power (230V-50Hz)
- Batteries: To store electrical energy for use when Sun is not shining
- Mounting Structure: Holds the PV panels at particular inclination and direction for maximum efficiency
- Balance of System (BoS): Includes junction boxes, MCB, connectors, lightening protection etc.
