DC isolator switches are a great way to disconnect your solar system from everything else. They can be used during maintenance tasks, when you need access and caution for one component but not others in the circuit at that time.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers in Your System
Fuses and circuit breakers are there to protect you from something that would be harmful if it were allowed through. The charge controller and inverter have fuses already. These safety features protect your system’s wiring from getting hot, melting, or even catching fire by shutting down the power before things get too out of control.
Equipment: Busbar, Displays, Cable Gland, Combiner box
One of the most important things to know about solar power is that it requires a few key pieces of equipment. These include busbars, displays, and cable glands for connecting panels together in series or parallel depending on how much energy you want from each one.
Equipment: Wire Lugs, Crimp Connectors, MC4 connectors
To be able to install an effective off-grid solar power system, you must familiarize yourself with the basic equipment required. The following list includes all of these items and more:
Basic Electric Tools: Hole Saw, Cordless Drill, Drill Bits, Safety Goggles
With electric tools, you can easily and quickly construct basic structures such as holes for screws or nails. Cordless drills provide compact power that helps to reduce fatigue when working long hours on job sites with no break from drilling.
