What is a solar inverter?
As the conversion equipment of solar power generation, solar inverter plays a key role in the whole power plant.
The solar inverter converts the direct current emitted by the solar module into a sinusoidal waveform current, connects the load or merges it into the power grid, and is the core component of the solar power generation system. the main function is to convert the direct current emitted by the solar panel into AC current for home use.
Type of solar inverter
Based on the required load and space availability for Solar System, you can choose the Solar Inverter. There are the following Solar models described here to understand the working function & that will help you out to choose or invert on the solar inverter.
Basically, three models are there to understand the solar function.
Grid-Interactive/ Connected System
Off-Grid System
Hybrid system
Inverters can be broadly classified into three major types:
1) Off-grid/ Standalone inverters– works independently off the grid and requires battery storage
2) On-grid/ Grid-tied inverters– are dependent upon the grid
3) Hybrid inverters – incorporate both battery and grid connection and have an inbuilt solar charge controller
Grid-tied solar inverters are further categorized into micro, string, and central inverters.
