Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar inverter?

A solar inverter, or solar panel inverter, is a pivotal device in any solar power system. Solar inverters efficiently convert the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels into alternating current (AC), the form of electricity used in homes and on the power grid.

Are solar inverters expensive?

They’re good at dealing with shade (like power optimizers), and have the additional advantage of making your solar system easy to expand. They are, however, the most expensive type of inverter. Learn more: Inverter types compared The solar inverter you choose will need to be compatible solar system type you are installing:

How do I choose the right solar panel inverter?

Choosing the right solar panel inverter is also a matter of compatibility. Solar panels and inverters must be compatible in terms of their voltage and power characteristics. When a solar inverter is not correctly matched to the solar panels, it results in poor system performance or damage to the equipment.

Are your solar panels a good inverter?

Your solar panels are only as good as the inverter they’re connected to. This often-overlooked component is vital for optimising energy harvest and ensuring the long-term reliability of your solar system. With Australia’s diverse climate, choosing an efficient and robust inverter is crucial.
