Balancing refers to the process by which the energy production of solar cells is harmonised to ensure optimum performance of the PV system. Uneven solar radiation, shading and various types of dirt can all affect the performance of solar cells. Balancing ensures that the energy production of each individual solar cell in your system is maximised. This improves the overall performance of the system and ensures more efficient use of the solar energy generated.
