A solar inverter converts the DC electricity from your solar panels into AC electricity for your home. Without it, your solar energy can’t power your appliances because they need AC power. Think of the inverter as a translator that makes your solar energy usable.

What Does a Solar Inverter Do?
The inverter changes DC to AC and optimises your solar system’s performance. It adjusts the voltage to keep panels working efficiently and monitors the system so you can track energy production and usage.

How Does a Solar Inverter Work?
Solar panels create DC electricity. The inverter converts this to AC electricity using switches that mimic an AC waveform. It regulates voltage and frequency to match your home’s needs and uses MPPT technology to adjust power output under varying conditions.
