Technical FAQs 4

What is a grid-tied inverter?

A grid-tied inverter solely designed for solar-to-grid applications, with no battery support. It provides efficient solar energy conversion and direct grid feed-in but cannot store energy. Ideal for locations with stable grid access and net metering policies, where users aim to offset electricity bills without investing in battery systems.

How do inverters provide grid services?

In order to provide grid services, inverters need to have sources of power that they can control. This could be either generation, such as a solar panel that is currently producing electricity, or storage, like a battery system that can be used to provide power that was previously stored.

Can a hybrid inverter work on a grid?

Yes, for readers having doubts about can hybrid inverter work on grid, yes, a hybrid inverter can work on a grid. In fact, one of the main functions of a hybrid inverter is to be able to connect to the grid and feed excess energy generated by the solar panels back into the grid.

How do grid-following inverters work?

Traditional “grid-following” inverters require an outside signal from the electrical grid to determine when the switching will occur in order to produce a sine wave that can be injected into the power grid. In these systems, the power from the grid provides a signal that the inverter tries to match.
