How Solar Inverters Work and How to Choose the Right One
A solar inverter converts the direct electricity (DC) generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) for your home or office use. Most inverters can do this with a 93% efficiency, but certain newer models can have an efficiency rating of up to 99%.
The cost of the inverter is the highest cost of a solar system after the solar panels themselves, so it's best to ensure you have the best inverter for your needs and budget. As a rule of thumb, the size of your inverter should be equal to the DC rating of your system. For example, if you're installing a six-kilowatt system, you should choose an inverter with around 6000 W. In addition, you should check and compare different inverters for durability and performance under harsh weather conditions.
Inverter Installation Process
We begin the solar inverter installation process by connecting the inverter to the solar panel system. The positive wire of the solar panels goes with the positive terminal of the inverter, while the negative wire gets connected to the negative terminal of the same inverter. Once we make and check the connections, we connect the inverter to the solar batteries and grid input to enable electricity production. Next, we start the inverter by turning it on the main switch.
Benefits of a Solar Inverter
Besides allowing you to get ready-to-use current from the sun's rays, a solar inverter can help maximize your energy production, monitor your solar panel system's energy output, and detect issues that might damage your system.
Types of Solar Inverters
-
String inverters are the most common type that works fine in direct sunlight. Multiple strings or solar panels are wired together and connected to the inverter.
-
Microinverters are small devices connected directly to solar panels instead of connecting them to a central inverter with a string circuit.
-
String inverter with optimizers combines the two concepts described above. Solar panels get connected in string circuits and wired to the main inverter.
The cost of solar inverters depends on the amount of power you need inverted. However, our solar inverters range from $100 to $2000.
