Solar Inverters
Solar inverters are an important part of any solar photovoltaic (PV) system. They convert the direct current (DC) output of solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in a home or commercial building. Two common types of solar inverters in Australia are string and micro inverters.
String inverters are a common type of solar power inverter for households – generally ranging from 1.5 to 5 kilowatts (KW). They are a single unit connected to a ‘string’ of solar panels. Each string is then connected into a separate input on the inverter.
Micro inverters are smaller individual units that are installed on a rack or attached to each panel, ranging from 200 to 250 watts (W) each. They are ideal where regular intermittent shading of panels is unavoidable due to trees or other buildings.
All homes and businesses connected to the grid in Australia will use either single or three phase inverters. Single phase solar inverters are suitable for homes and small businesses, while three phase inverters are appropriate for commercial solar systems.
