Generator
A photovoltaic generator is the heart of any PV system, converting solar energy into electrical energy that can be fed into the power grid or stored in batteries. There are two types of generators in photovoltaic systems: the central inverter and the micro-inverter. The central inverter manages the entire system, converting direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). In contrast, micro-inverters equip each individual solar module with its own inverter, allowing the power output of each PV cell to be individually monitored and optimized. Monitoring the generator is a crucial aspect of using photovoltaic systems. This ensures the generator operates efficiently and safely, which can be achieved through specialized software or hardware. Regular monitoring helps detect and address issues early, increasing the system's yield and extending the lifespan of the solar modules. In summary, the photovoltaic generator is the core of any PV system, converting solar energy into electrical energy. It is a vital component of any photovoltaic setup. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure efficient and safe operation.
