Solar Panel And Converter

Most appliances lighting and household electronics use the alternating current hence the conversion need.

Grid tie inverters come in several options.

Each varies with features and costs. 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.

It sends power into the home to run appliances and turns back the meter with excess energy. String inverters microinverters and optimizers. Sometimes mistakenly called a converter solar panel inverters deal less with voltage level and more with current type switching power from dc to alternating current ac what most home appliances use to function. Solar inverters are devices that convert the electricity from the solar panels which is generally in direct current into alternating current.

In a grid tied system solar panels connect directly to an inverter which ties into your main household electrical panel. Solar panels are installed in rows each on a string for example if you have 25 panels you may have 5 rows of 5 panels. Each string carries the dc power the solar panels produce to the string inverter where it s converted into usable ac power consumed as electricity.
