The core of photovoltaic (PV) energy storage lies in how components work together seamlessly. In this article, we dive into solar panels and inverters—the “heart” of any PV system. As an authorized distributor for Jinko and Deye, Chasun Solar guides you through these vital elements, from basic principles to practical applications.

Solar Panels: The Sunlight Capturers Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic modules, are the foundation of PV systems. They convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity via the photovoltaic effect. Panels consist of solar cells made from materials like silicon.
Types from simple to advanced:
- Monofacial Panels: Traditional single-sided designs that capture light from one side.
- Bifacial Panels: Advanced models that absorb light from both sides, boosting output by 15-25% through reflected light. Chasun’s Jinko Tiger Neo series uses N-type TOPCon technology for up to 22% efficiency, with robust weather resistance and full certifications (CE, UL, TUV).
Key considerations: Panel efficiency, durability, and warranties—Chasun offers 25-year guarantees for reliable performance.
-
Inverters: The Energy Converters Inverters transform DC from panels into alternating current (AC) for household or grid use. They also manage power flow and safety.
Subtypes:
- Grid-Tied Inverters: Connect to the utility grid, ideal for urban setups where excess power can be sold back.
- Off-Grid Inverters: Standalone for remote areas, often paired with batteries.
- Hybrid Inverters: Versatile for both, supporting energy storage integration. Chasun’s Deye inverters offer low MOQ, high compatibility, and smart monitoring via apps.
-
Power Conversion System (PCS): PCS is a comprehensive unit that includes inversion, transformation, and control functions, often used in larger-scale storage setups.
-
Inverters vs. PCS: Key Differences
- Inverters: Focus on basic DC-to-AC conversion; simpler and cost-effective for small systems.
- PCS: More advanced, handling bidirectional power flow, voltage regulation, and grid interaction—essential for industrial applications. Chasun’s integrated solutions optimize both for seamless light-storage systems.
Conclusion: Understanding these components ensures efficient PV setups. In the next article, we focus on lithium batteries. Discover Chasun’s inventory: Inverter Products.
