There are many parts of a complete observatory solar system, but the five main components are solar panels, charge controller, batteries, DC load panel and AC inverter. The solar panels generate the DC power for the system. They are typically mounted to the roof or a pole system and are wired through a charge controller to the batteries. The charge controller prevents the batteries from being overcharged and eliminates any reverse current flow to the solar panels. The batteries store the electricity produced by the solar array during the day for use at anytime of the day or night. Power from the batteries is routed through the DC load panel which contains DC circuit breakers to the different segments of the observatory electrical system.
