Your Local Guide to Solar System Design and Setup
At Battery Power, we help you plan and implement solar energy systems tailored to your needs — from small off-grid setups to full home backup systems. Our “Solar” page currently includes key wiring diagrams, configuration tips, and tilt angle guidance. batterypowerfl.com
PROCESS
System Setup Overview
A full solar energy system typically includes:
01
Solar Panels
Panels collect sunlight and convert it to DC power.
02
Solar Controller (PWM or MPPT)
The controller regulates the voltage from panels to safely charge your battery bank.
- PWM controllers are good when panel voltage is close to battery voltage, typically for systems under ~400 W.
- MPPT controllers are more efficient especially when panel voltage is higher than battery voltage or for larger systems above 400 W.

03
Battery Bank
Store energy for use when the sun isn’t shining. The controller outputs to the battery bank via proper fusing and wiring. batterypowerfl.com
04
Power Inverter
Converts battery DC output into 120V AC (or 230V in some systems) to power household appliances.
configurations
Wiring Configurations: Series, Parallel, and Combinations
How you wire your panels affects voltage and current:
- Series wiring increases voltage, while current remains the same.
- Parallel wiring keeps voltage constant, increasing current (ampere) capacity.
- Series-Parallel combinations allow scaling both voltage and current.
Use proper fusing on positive leads, especially when wiring multiple panels, to protect your system from faults. The page on your site demonstrates these configurations. batterypowerfl.com
controller
Controller Types: PWM vs. MPPT
- PWM (Pulse Width Modulation):
Best when panel voltage is close to battery voltage. Simpler, lower cost, but less efficient under less-than-ideal conditions. - MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking):
More advanced and efficient — especially when your panel voltage is substantially higher than battery voltage. Ideal for larger systems or setups where you want maximum energy harvest.
Your existing Solar page describes when each type is appropriate. batterypowerfl.com
orientation
Tilt Angle & Panel Orientation
To maximize solar harvest in Leesburg, the optimal panel tilt angles are:.

- Year‑round average: ~26°
- Seasonal adjustments:
- Spring & Fall: ~26°
- Summer: ~11°
- Winter: ~41°
- Orientation: Always face panels to
true south for best output.
These tilt values are shown on your Solar page. batterypowerfl.com
applications
