A solar inverter (solar PV inverter) is a dependable and safe power source converter. As an essential component of a solar power system, a solar inverter converts Direct Current (DC electricity or DC power) into Alternating Current (AC electricity or AC power).

PV systems play an important role in accelerating solar innovation and meeting the advanced energy demands for residential, Commercial, and industrial applications.

A solar inverter uses a clean, pollution-free, and renewable energy source to power household appliances, industrial equipment, utility grids, etc. Solar PV inverters increase property value and decrease electricity and maintenance costs while helping reduce the greenhouse effect.

The rise of the “clean energy economy “is enabling business and households to achieve energy self-sufficiency through a wide array of solar power Inverters available in different Configurations and sizes.

 Apart from standard inverters, Solar PV Inverters Manufactures are introducing technologically advanced inverter Variants and related products to make greener and smarter energy available for a Plethora of PV inverters applications.

What is a Solar Inverter?

A Solar Inverter (also known as a “Solar PV (Photovoltaic) Inverter,” Solar Panel inverter,” or a “Solar module inverter”) Converts Direct Current (DC) Power Output from Solar Panels into alternating current (AC).

Why is an inverter necessary in a Solar Panel System? Without an inverter, it is not feasible to convert the electricity generated by a solar panel into usable electricity.

A Typical Solar Energy System Consists of:

• Solar Panel (absorb Sunlight).
• A mounting Structure (holds the panel in place).
• An Inverter (Converts DC Current into AC Current).
• Batteries (Store extra Power)
• A Balance -of-System (BOS)and
• A Grid Box

Among Solar Battery options, the lithium iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is Suitable for Solar Power applications due to its good electrical performance, Safety, Stability, non-flammability, and easy maintenance.

The following types of Solar PV Inverters are commonly used for residential, Commercial, and Utility-Scale installations:

• Central Inverter
• Grid-tied inverter/Grid Inverters
• Hybrid Inverters
• Off-grid Inverters/Regular Inverters
• String Inverters
