Solar inverters solar panel.

In a solar pv system with a string inverter each panel is wired together into a string and multiple strings normally up to three can be connected to your central inverter. Solar inverters are devices that convert the electricity from the solar panels which is generally in direct current into alternating current. It sends power into the home to run appliances and turns back the meter with excess energy. Most appliances lighting and household electronics use the alternating current hence the conversion need.

Each varies with features and costs. In a grid tied system solar panels connect directly to an inverter which ties into your main household electrical panel. Most small scale solar energy systems use a string inverter also known as a central inverter. Grid tie inverters come in several options.
