Solar Inverter



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.
