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. If you’re interested in learning a bit more about how microinverters compare to string inverters, you might want to check out the following article titled, Microinverters vs. String Inverters: A Transparent Comparison.

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.

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. If you’re interested in a deeper dive into microinverters, a type of inverter, you might want to check out the following article titled, How Do Microinverter Systems Work?

Solar inverters last 5 – 10 years on average. Microinverters last longer, 25 years. Lifespan depends on quality, environment, and maintenance. The warranty will give you an idea of how long the equipment will last. If you’re interested in learning a bit more about the warranties for the products we install, you might want to check out the following article titled, A Complete Guide to Solar Warranties.

Inverter size depends on your solar system size and usage. Oversizing your solar array compared to the inverter helps maximise efficiency. Local DNSP regulations may also affect your choice. If you’re interested in learning a bit more about inverter size, you might want to check out the following article titled, What is Solar Oversizing in a Microinverter System?

Yes, inverters have safety features like auto shutoff and meet strict standards. Professional installation is the key to safe operation. Choose your installer carefully.
