In general, five categories of resources are expected to be deployed and used to meet the challenge of maintaining an adequate source of supply in the coming decade: new wind and solar resources, energy storage, demand response resources, continued use of thermal.

You need solar panels, inverters, racking equipment, and performance monitoring equipment to go solar. You also might want an energy storage system (aka solar battery), especially if you live in an area that doesn't have net metering.

Although using energy storage is never 100% efficient—some energy is always lost in converting energy and retrieving it—storage allows the flexible use of energy at different times from when it was generated.

The system utilizes solar arrays and wind turbines to store the electricity generated through an intelligent wind solar hybrid controller into a battery, and then converts the stored DC electricity into AC electricity through an inverter, which is sent to the base.
