          +---------------+
          |  Inverter      |
          |  (Converts DC   |
          |   to AC)       |
          +---------------+

                  |
                  v
          +---------------+
          |  Main Breaker  |
          |  Panel (MCB)  |
          +---------------+
                  |
                  |
                  v
          +---------------+
          |  Electrical   |
          |  Panel (RCD)  |
          +---------------+
                  |
                  |
                  v
          +---------------+
          |  Metering     |
          |  (Monitors    |
          |   energy usage)|
          +---------------+
                  |
                  |
                  v
          +---------------+
          |  Grid Tie     |
          |  (Connects to  |
          |   the grid)    |
          +---------------+

Here's a breakdown of each component:

  1. Solar Panels: These convert sunlight into DC electricity.
  2. Inverter: This converts the DC electricity from the solar panels into AC electricity, which is usable in your home.
  3. Main Breaker Panel (MCB): This is the main electrical panel for your home, and it contains circuit breakers that protect the electrical circuits in your home. The solar panel system is connected to this panel.
  4. Electrical Panel (RCD): This is a residual current device that protects against electrical shock and fault currents.
  5. Metering: This component measures the amount of energy produced by the solar panels and fed into the grid.
  6. Grid Tie: This component connects the solar panel system to the grid, allowing you to sell excess energy back to the utility company.

Here's a more detailed diagram of the breaker panel:

          |  Circuit Breaker|
          +---------------+
                  |
                  |
                  v

          |  Metering     |
          |  Circuit Breaker|
          +---------------+

In this diagram, each circuit breaker is labeled with the corresponding component it protects. The solar panel circuit breaker protects the solar panels and the inverter circuit breaker protects the inverter. The grid tie circuit breaker protects the grid tie component, and the metering circuit breaker protects the metering component.

Note that this is a simplified diagram and the actual installation may vary depending on the specific requirements of your solar panel system and local electrical codes. It's always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for a professional installation.
