The major components of a grid connected system
• 1. the modules making up the solar array convert the sun’s energy to
direct current (DC) electrical energy.
• 2. the mounting system supports the solar array at the desired angle
to the sun.
• 3. the power center, custom-configured for the system, will include
a. a low-distortion inverter to transform DC into the alternating
current (AC) used by most of our appliances and by the utilities;
b. an interconnect with incoming utility power;
c. a connection to your breaker panel.
• 4. the system data monitor shows how much energy is flowing in
from the energy sources and how much is flowing out to the loads.
• 5. the balance of system hardware consists of wiring, terminations,
Ground Fault Interrupter, surge protections, DC and AC
disconnects, etc.

Solar Water Heating

Solar Water Heating in Turkey
• Approximately 20 million m 2 solar collectors under use.
• Flat-plate solar collectors are commonly used. Evacuated tubes are
also used.
• Most of them are used in Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara
region.
• Annual solar collector production capacity is nearly 1 million m 2
• 10% of the production is being exported.

Flat-Plate Solar Collectors
Flat-Plate Solar Collector
Flat-plate collectors are the most
common solar collector for solar
water-heating systems in homes
and solar space heating. A typical
flat-plate collector is an insulated
metal box with a glass or plastic
cover (called the glazing) and a
dark-colored absorber plate.
These collectors heat liquid or air
at temperatures less than 80°C.

Evacuated-Tube Collectors
Evacuated-Tube Solar Collector
Evacuated-tube collectors can
achieve extremely high
temperatures (170°F to 350°F).
However, evacuated-tube
collectors are more expensive
than flat-plate collectors, with unit
area costs about twice that of flatplate
collectors.
