Solar arrays generate electricity when the sun is shining. The site has two 6kW solar arrays totalling 12kW

The solar inverters convert DC power from the solar panels to useful AC power for the customer

The battery stores energy during the day when there is excess solar energy to use later at night when the sun has stopped shining

The Sunny Island inverter converts AC power to DC power to charge up the battery and converts it back to AC when the battery is powering the load

The diesel generator is there as a backup in the event that there is low solar generation and the battery is depleted
