What do Inverters Do?

The solar inverter is a key component in any solar energy system, playing a vital role in transforming the way solar power is utilised in your home.

As one of the most crucial parts of the system, the cost and installation of a solar inverter are typically included when setting up solar panels. But why is it so essential?

Solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity from sunlight, but most household appliances and electrical systems run on alternating current (AC). This is where the solar inverter comes in. It converts the DC electricity produced by your solar panels into AC electricity, making it usable for your home’s electrical circuits and devices. Without an inverter, the energy generated by your solar panels would be useless for powering everyday appliances.

In addition to performing this conversion, modern solar inverters offer advanced features that enhance the overall efficiency and performance of your solar system. They help maximise energy output, ensuring that you're getting the most from your solar panels. Furthermore, they contribute significantly to the safety and reliability of your installation. By monitoring the system’s performance, detecting issues, and preventing potential damage, advanced inverters protect both your solar array and your home’s electrical system.

In short, the solar inverter is not just a necessary part of the system, it’s a crucial element that ensures your solar energy system functions optimally, safely, and efficiently.

Inverter Options

3.6k

3.6k

This option is a reliable component in small-scale solar installations, for smaller home, or where there is limited space for solar panels. This inverter is optimal for arrays using up to eight panels.

5.5 k

5.5 k

This inverter would be integrated into solar systems setup for larger homes with more space and higher energy demands. This would be ideal for eight to 12-panel arrays, or possibly more.

8.8k

8.8k

8.8k output and above is ideal for commercial work and high-demand loads. These inverters will handle around 20+ panels in an array and are ideal for larger buildings and environments where more energy output is required, while still harnessing solar energy.
