Technical FAQs 4

How do solar inverter systems work?

By now, you should have a good idea of how solar inverter systems work and why they’re important. In a grid-connected PV system, solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). The inverter then turns that DC into alternating current (AC) that your home and the grid can use.

What is a solar inverter?

Solar inverters are the heart of any solar power system, converting the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used by most household appliances and connected to the power grid.

What is grid-connected solar inverter system?

1. Introduction to grid-connected solar inverter system Photovoltaic system is a device that converts solar energy into electricity, which is mainly composed of solar panels (modules), inverters, racking, cables and other electrical equipment.

How does a grid connected solar inverter system work?

When the power generated by the system exceeds the load demand, the excess power can be delivered to the grid, realizing “net metering”. Conversely, when the system does not generate enough power to meet the load demand, the required power can be purchased from the grid. Grid-connected solar inverter system have many advantages, including:
