Balance of system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The balance of system or BOS encompasses all components of a photovoltaic system other than the photovoltaic panels.[1] This includes wiring, switches, support racks, an inverter, and batteries in the case of off-grid systems. In the case of free-standing systems, land is sometimes included as part of the BOS.
