Solar Inverters
The ABC Of Solar Inverters
Let’s talk about inverters. The inverter is the heart of your system, so make sure you insist on the best and only the best. Solar panels are important, but it is your choice of inverter that makes all the difference.
- Insist on established and reputable brands.
- Insist on world leading technology.
- Insist on the best or nothing at all.
What is A Solar Inverter?
A solar inverter is one of the most important parts of a solar system, it is a device that converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity which is the electricity used in your home and by the grid. It is basically your powerpoint to plug into the sun.
There are a few different types of solar inverters and how they work to generate solar for your home.
Enpase microinverters are the powerhouse of all inverter systems. In this setup, each panel is connected to 1 microinverter.
A string inverter is where all panels are connected in one or more strings to one centralised inverter like SMA’s string inverter.
Battery inverters are designed to be compatible with your battery like
Qcells’ Q.VOLT.
String inverters with DC optimisers are a more complicated string inverter system.
