Technical FAQs 4

What does a solar inverter do?

A solar inverter is an important part of any solar power system. It primarily converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC), where AC electricity is used for powering household appliances, or it can be fed into the power grid. Or to directly answer "What's an inverter?"

Are inverters the heart of a solar system?

If solar panels are the heart of your system, inverters are the brain. Your solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity when sunlight hits them, but your home runs on alternating current (AC) electricity—the standard 120 or 240-volt power that flows through your outlets.

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.

Do you need a solar inverter?

Without a solar inverter, your solar panels would produce electricity you couldn't use. Simply put, the inverter makes solar energy practical and compatible with the electrical systems in your home or workplace. How Does a Solar Inverter Work?
