Technical FAQs 4

Why should I connect my solar panel to an inverter?

Connecting your solar panel to an inverter is important in harnessing solar energy for daily use. An inverter transforms the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the PV solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity (the standard form used by most home appliances).

How do I connect my solar panels to an inverter?

The first step in connecting your solar panels to an inverter is thorough planning and preparation. Assess your energy needs, identify an optimal location for both solar panels and the inverter (with access to direct sunlight and proximity to the electrical panel), and obtain any permits or approvals required by local authorities.

Can a 12V inverter be directly connected to a solar panel?

Yes, a 12V inverter can be directly connected to a solar panel. However, the direct connection is not commonly recommended because solar panels do not provide a stable voltage output. To ensure a stable power supply, it's advantageous to use a charge controller between the PV solar panel and the inverter.

How many solar panels can I connect to my inverter?

The maximum number of PV solar panels you can connect to your inverter isn't a fixed number. It depends on the specifications of your particular solar panels and inverter. Specifically, you have to consider the rated power output of the panels and the capacity of your inverter.
