An inverter is a central component of a photovoltaic system that converts the direct current (DC) generated by the solar modules into grid-compliant alternating current (AC). This can be used directly in the household or fed into the power grid.
In addition, the inverter performs functions such as:
-
Energy management : optimization of power consumption and grid feed-in.
-
Monitoring : Monitoring of plant performance.
-
Safety : Protection against overvoltage and fault currents.
Depending on the size and design of the system, there are different types such as string, micro or hybrid inverters. They are essential for the efficiency and functionality of the solar system.
