Technical FAQs 4

How a PV inverter works?

So every PV system needs a PV inverter. The direct current (DC) generated by the PV system is fed to the PV inverter via a cable. The inverter converts the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). You can consume the alternating current straightaway in your own home or business or feed it into the local utility grid.

What is a solar inverter?

Solar Inverter – Definition: Every PV system requires at least one inverter. While the utility grid supplies alternating current (AC) and most domestic appliances and machines also run on alternating current, the PV modules on your roof generate direct current (DC). So, this first has to be converted into alternating current (AC) for everyday use.

How do micro inverters for solar panels work?

These micro inverters for solar panels are connected directly to the PV modules: you will find a PV inverter on every PV module. These inverters are often used for small PV systems, such as solar systems on balconies. With larger PV systems, the individual PV modules are connected one after another in a string formation.

How does a solar inverter work?

Distribution: As alternating current, the solar power can then be safely used within a home’s electrical system, stored in a battery reserve, or shared with the utility energy grid. In essence, the inverter acts as the heart of a solar energy system, pumping generated electricity wherever it needs to go.
