Inverter:
A power inverter is a device that converts Direct Current (or DC) to Alternating
Current (or AC) using transformers, switching and control circuits. A
home UPS or home inverter take the DC power from the batteries and convert it
to AC power used by appliances.
What
is a solar inverter and how does it work?
Solar Inverter: The
Solar Inverter is an essential device in any solar power system. It also converts
DC to AC if it is an Off Grid solar power system. In case of Grid Connected,
the DC power is from the solar panels and AC power is given to the grid.
Solar energy is changed
to electrical energy with the help of photovoltaic cells. This energy is stored
in batteries during daytime for the operation purpose whenever needed.
Types
of Solar Inverters
Off
Grid Inverters: Here the solar inverter is fed DC
power from a battery panel. This battery panel is charged by solar panels. Several
such inverters have integrated with basic battery chargers which can be used to
boost the battery from an AC power source.
Grid
Tie Inverters: An inverter which is associated
with the grid can be said to be a grid tie inverter. These inverter feed power
in the electricity grid by corresponding phase and frequency. These
inverters are designed to automatically shut down once sensing a loss of supply
from the utility.
Battery
backup Inverters: These special types of inverters are
particularly designed to draw energy from a battery. The charge of the battery
is preserved by using an on-board charger and an additional energy is
transferred to the grid. Such inverters have the ability to provide AC power to
particular loads during power outages.
Micro
Inverters:Microinverters are modern in the solar industry.
They are small, compact size and portable with a lot of performance.
Advantages
of Solar Inverter
1.Solar energy help to
reduce greenhouse effect and global warming.
2.By using of solar
based devices will help in saving money and energy.
3.A solar inverter
helps in changing the DC into batteries or AC. This helps people who use a
partial amount of electricity.
4.The synchronous solar
inverter that helps small homeowners and also power companies as they are huge
in size.
5.The multifunction solar
inverter is the finest among all and works powerfully. It converts the DC to AC
very carefully which is suitable for commercial establishments.
6.Solar inverter is
cost effective, i.e. low cost than generators.
