balance of system

The balance of system (BOS) refers to all the necessary components and infrastructure needed to support a solar power system, beyond just the solar panels. This includes items like inverters, wiring, mounting hardware, racking, and electrical safety devices. BOS ensures the solar panels work efficiently and safely by providing proper electrical connections and structural support. Effective BOS design minimizes costs, enhances system performance, and ensures compliance with safety standards, making the overall solar installation reliable and optimized for energy production.
