Inverters
Harness Solar Power Efficiently with the Right Inverter
In any solar energy setup, the inverter plays a key role, and here's why:
- Crucial Conversion: The inverter is responsible for a crucial task - converting the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into the alternating current (AC) electricity used by the electrical grid.
- The Solar Power System's Control Hub: The solar inverter you select has the greatest impact on your solar system's overall power output, not the solar panels themselves. This is because the solar inverter acts as the control hub of your solar power system, and choosing the right type can significantly boost your system's power output.
- Battery & Inverter Harmony: Adding a battery to your solar system makes the choice of inverter even more crucial. Different types of batteries work differently depending on the type of inverter chosen, with some being more efficient than others. Knowing this in advance helps you select the most suitable inverter for maximum power production for your home.
When it comes to choosing solar systems, there are two main categories: those equipped with battery storage and those without:
Solar Systems without Battery Storage use Grid-tie Inverters. These divert solar energy to power your home first, with any surplus energy sent to the local grid. During low solar energy production, your home draws power from the grid. It's important to note that grid-tied solar systems shut down during power outages to protect utility workers from potential backflow of electricity.
Through net metering, homeowners earn credits for surplus energy fed into the grid, offsetting their energy consumption. This allows solar owners to replace traditional electricity bills with reduced payments for their solar systems.
Adding Battery Storage allows storage of excess daytime energy for use at night or during periods of low solar generation. This can significantly reduce energy bills, particularly in regions with high electricity costs.
Solar systems with battery storage can choose from four inverter types: Grid-tie Inverters, Off-grid Inverters, Hybrid Inverters, or AC Coupled Inverters.
