PV modules
Capture solar energy. Layout and technology respond to the site and application.
Technology
Solar generation, conversion, storage and monitoring only become a useful system when the connections between them are considered.
System relationships
Equipment is selected within a system: the roof and loads, the electrical connection, the intended operation and the building interfaces.

Capture solar energy. Layout and technology respond to the site and application.

Convert electrical output and connect generation or storage to the AC system.

Adds an energy reserve with capacity and power suited to an operating objective.

Provide system information and support an agreed operating strategy.

Connects generation, storage, the grid and the different building loads.

Coordinates BIPV materials with façade, structural and electrical requirements.
An indicative arrangement
This AC-coupled example keeps grid, building loads and battery conversion connected at distribution. It does not imply one universal system topology.
From generation to building use.
At the switchboard: ↔ Grid↔ Optional battery + inverter
Storage is shown as a separate AC-coupled branch. Metering, protection and isolation are omitted. Backup requires a separately designed arrangement. This is not a construction drawing.
