Balance of
System
Balance of System components incorporate all the pieces of a
renewable energy system except for the solar panels and their
mounting system. These components include batteries,
inverters, charge controllers, over-current protection and
enclosures. Choosing the appropriate components can be
overwhelming for people who are just becoming interested in
renewable energy systems. GenPro Energy has qualified
professionals willing and ready to assist!GenPro Energy's
suppliers are Outback Power Systems Integrating Partners, able
to custom build complete, ETL-listed power systems for
renewable energy and backup power use. GenPro Energy will
work with you to determine the precise mix of components to
meet your specific needs, then have your system assembled and
tested to ensure maximum reliability. You receive a turn-key
system ready to hang on the wall and connect to inputs if you
so desire.
There are several
mounting structures for photovoltaic modules. In grid-tie
applications modules are usually fixed to a roof or ground
mount and in off-grid and water pumping applications the
modules may be attached to a fixed or sun tracking rack
Inverters convert DC power from your renewable energy
source into the AC power needed for powering the appliances in
your home. Inverters are grouped in two major categories:
those designed to convert solar energy directly into AC
without the use of storage batteries, and those designed to
provide power from batteries, with the batteries being charged
by any number of sources. We offer a broad range of inverters
from well-known suppliers for all applications, and can help
you choose the best match for your needs.
Batteries store energy.
GenPro Energy carries Surrette and Concorde batteries, which
we have found to be of the highest quality and most
cost-effective batteries available.
A charge controller is an essential part of all battery
based power systems, whether the power source is PV, wind or
hydro-electric. Its primary purpose is to keep your batteries
from becoming overcharged. In addition, advanced charge
controllers offer maximum power point tracking (MPPT), which
can extract more power out of your solar array over the coarse
of a day.
