Also known as grid protection units (GPU), PV distribution boards (PVDB) and network protection units (NPU) these aggregate the embedded generation and protect the grid.
Solar PV (Photovoltaic) and battery switchboards are essential components of a solar energy system with battery storage. These switchboards play a crucial role in managing the flow of electricity between various components of the system, ensuring safety, and optimizing energy usage
A solar PV switchboard, also known as a solar distribution board, is responsible for managing the electricity generated by solar panels (photovoltaic modules) installed on a property’s roof or ground-mounted system.
It typically includes circuit breakers, switches, surge protection devices, and monitoring equipment. These components ensure the safe and efficient distribution of solar-generated electricity to the building’s electrical loads.
The switchboard allows you to disconnect the solar PV system from the grid and ensures that excess electricity generated is either sent back to the grid (in a grid- tied system) or stored in a battery (in a hybrid or off-grid system)
