What is a Solar Inverter?
The solar inverter is the heart of the solar system. It is a sophisticated piece of electrical equipment that is responsible for:
- Conversion of DC electricity (produced by the solar panels) to AC electricity which can be used within your home or exported to the grid.
- Controlling the voltage of the system to extract the maximum power available (referred to as maximum power point tracking).
- Reporting on the solar system’s performance (either on screen, via bluetooth or via the internet)
