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. String inverters microinverters and optimizers. Without a solar inverter energy harnessed by solar panels can t easily be put to use.

Grid tie inverters come in several options. In a grid tied system solar panels connect directly to an inverter which ties into your main household electrical panel. It sends power into the home to run appliances and turns back the meter with excess energy. 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.

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. Solar inverters are devices that convert the electricity from the solar panels which is generally in direct current into alternating current.
