Technical FAQs 4

What is an on-grid solar inverter?

1. On-Grid Solar Inverter An on-grid solar inverter connects directly to the utility grid. It synchronizes the solar system with grid electricity and exports excess energy. On-grid systems are cost-effective. They reduce electricity bills and enable net metering, where users get credited for the energy they supply to the grid.

What is an off-grid inverter?

Though fundamentally an off-grid inverter, this versatile model features grid input support—allowing it to draw power from the grid when solar and battery resources are insufficient. Commonly known as an off-grid hybrid inverter, it combines solar + battery + optional grid power, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply.

What is a solar inverter?

A solar inverter is a device that ensures solar power systems deliver usable electricity. It manages the energy flow between solar panels, storage batteries, and the grid. The inverter is essential for optimizing energy efficiency, ensuring compatibility with appliances, and enabling advanced functionalities like net metering.

How do I choose the right inverter for my solar power system?

Choose the right inverter for your solar power system based on energy needs and location. Learn the key differences between on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid inverters. Choose the right inverter for your solar power system based on energy needs and location.
