PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

A Solar Inverter is an integral part of your Solar PV System which represents an important investment to ensure your Home Energy Efficiency.

Since energy efficiency and saving money by lowering utility costs became a priority, it is essential to ensure that the most appropriate solar inverter is installed with the solar PV system. Before finalizing the solar PV system installation project, be sure to speak with an Energy Efficiency Consultant about the current level of your home energy efficiency.

The energy efficiency consultant will help you to identify all areas of energy inefficiency in your house and potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars in the future.

WHAT IS A SOLAR INVERTER?

You use your electrical appliances at home every day, right? But, did you know that all electrical appliances and other devices at your house can work only on AC Current and use 120 Volt? AC Current is an abbreviation for Alternating Current, and this type of current is different to Direct Current, or DC Current, which is generated by your solar PV system or provided by the solar battery at your house, or combination of both products, known as Solar-Plus-Storage System.

To overcome this significant difference and to enable you to utilize electricity generated by the solar PV system, it is essential to install a special device called a Solar Inverter as an integral part of that system. Solar inverter acts like a “language translator” because it converts, or “translates” the DC Current to AC Current.

Unfortunately, there is about 12% - 15% Energy Loss during the conversion process. Obviously, more efficient inverters incur less energy loss in comparison with less efficient inverters as you will learn below.

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?

Electricity can be described as a flow of electrons in a circuit called Electrical Circuit.

WHEN DO YOU NEED
A SOLAR INVERTER?

When you decide to install a Solar PV System, or a Solar PV System with a Solar Battery, also known as a Solar-Plus-Storage System, it will produce DC Current which can’t be used at home, because all household devices and appliances can use only AC Current at 120 Volt, as explained earlier.

For this reason, you will need to install a Solar Inverter to convert DC Current from the solar PV system into an AC Current which will be fed into your house for daily use.

TYPES OF SOLAR INVERTERS

If you are considering installing a Solar PV Panel System or a separate Battery for your home, one of the key decisions you will have to make is the type of inverter to install.

As you know, inverters convert DC Current generated by your solar PV panels into AC Current usable at home. For this reason, a Solar Inverter is the most important equipment in your Solar PV System after the solar PV panels and solar batteries, or home batteries, when such batteries are installed as stand-alone units without a solar PV system.

According to EnergySage, there are three Types Of Solar Inverters that are currently available to you with your solar PV system.

BASIC FACTS ABOUT INVERTERS

Basic facts about String Inverters, Micro-Inverters and Power Optimizers include the following:

• Inverters convert the DC electricity that your solar panels produce into appliance-friendly AC electricity.
• The three main inverter options available for homes residential and commercial solar installations are string inverters, micro-inverters and power optimizers.
• Micro-inverters and power optimizers are more expensive than string inverters.
• Micro-inverters and power optimizers are best for installations where one or more panels may be shaded, or where panels are facing different directions.
• Micro-inverters and power optimizers allow you to monitor the power production of each individual panel.
• A system that uses micro-inverters or power optimizers will produce slightly more power than a similar system with a string inverter.
