Solar Panel And Converter

In a grid tied system solar panels connect directly to an inverter which ties into your main household electrical panel.

Solar panel and converter.

Sometimes mistakenly called a converter solar panel inverters deal less with voltage level and more with current type switching power from dc to alternating current ac what most home appliances use to function. Solar panels are installed in rows each on a string for example if you have 25 panels you may have 5 rows of 5 panels. In a solar pv system with a string inverter each panel is wired together into a string and multiple strings normally up to three can be connected to your central inverter. When your panels produce energy it all gets sent to a single inverter which is usually located on the side of your home in a garage or in your basement.

It sends power into the home to run appliances and turns back the meter with excess energy. Most appliances lighting and household electronics use the alternating current hence the conversion need. Solar inverters are devices that convert the electricity from the solar panels which is generally in direct current into alternating current. String inverters microinverters and optimizers.

Each string carries the dc power the solar panels produce to the string inverter where it s converted into usable ac power consumed as electricity. Multiple strings are connected to one string inverter.
