Technical FAQs 4

Should you use a grid-tied solar inverter?

You will always experience some advantages when using a grid-tied solar inverter compared to other solar panel systems. Rather than a hybrid system with a battery, this is way cheaper. This system needs only a few pieces of equipment so the initial cost is always low. This will meter the surplus power which you can sell to the grid.

What is a grid-tied PV inverter?

Grid-tied PV inverters perform an additional task in addition to converting solar energy from AC to DC making them best for solar panels. It analyzes energy flows in real time to decide whether solar energy should be used domestically or exported. It synchronizes the output voltage and frequency well with the connected grid.

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.

How does a grid connected solar inverter work?

The grid-connected solar inverter operates according to a simple basic electrical theory. From a higher potential to a lower potential, the current flows. The grid-connected solar inverter attempts to keep its output voltage greater than the grid voltage. Net current flow from solar to the grid is the result of this.
