Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar inverter?

O solar inverter (or photovoltaic inverter) is an electronic device that is indispensable in any photovoltaic solar energy system. Its main function is to convert to direct current (DC) produced by the modules or solar panels in alternating current (AC) which is the type of energy used by most electrical equipment and the conventional power grid.

What are the different types of solar inverters?

To recap, there are three kinds of inverters: string inverters, microinverters, and power optimizers. They all transform the power your solar panels generate from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). This makes the energy usable for your home. Here’s a few things to look for when shopping for inverters

Why are solar inverters important?

By continuously monitoring the performance of the system, inverters can detect and mitigate issues such as panel shading or malfunctions, thereby maximizing overall system efficiency. The efficiency and reliability of inverters are essential for the optimal performance of solar energy systems.

How do solar inverters work?

Inverters change the power produced by your solar panels into something you can actually use. Think of it as a currency exchange for your power. You might have a fistful of yen, but until you stop and exchange it for USD, you can’t pay for lunch stateside. Your home is wired to conduct alternating current (AC) power.
