- Battery
- Battery charge controller
- Inverter

Examples
SUF Solar User Forum, developed by Solar Energy Foundation Philippines (StS) and Hybrid Social Solutions (HSSi).It begins with a brief essay-writing contest anwering the questions “How have you used your solar lamp?” and “How has your solar lamp changed your life?” The best essay authors are invited to testify to the group and share their insights with their peers in a half day conference with other end-users. This training facilitates knowledge-sharing on best practices and the collection of product design feedback, user data and proof of impact.
Bushlight have a nice example of a files/RE System User Manual.pdf user manual. In this case is a user manual for a hybrid system not only a solar system, its important to put atention to the format and design.
