What are Solar Inverters?

Solar Inverter is the brain of the solar system which acts like the engine of the car. The objective is to convert the DC electricity from solar panels into AC electricity. Finally, this electricity is used in your house to reduce your electricity bills and if any excess energy is sold to your electricity company or stored in the battery for your night consumption or to charge your Electric vehicle.
Therefore, it is very crucial to choose a solar inverter that is reliable, safe, secure and offers the best performance for your money.
Opera Solar Energy is a local Australian solar company based in Sydney, NSW with the vision of providing sustainable and affordable solar energy solutions to home and business owners.
With a firm commitment to sustainability and renewable energy solutions, we offer the best-in-class solar inverters that ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.

Use of Solar Inverters in Your Solar system

Solar Inverters play an important role in your PV system. Their role is to convert the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC electricity suitable for use in homes, businesses, or the grid. Therefore, you should avoid buying very cheap and unreliable inverters. You should also check if it complies with Australian Standard (AS4777). You can check the list on Clean Energy Council’s approved products list.
All solar inverters that are sold in Australia should be on this list. But, if you don’t find the one that you are buying, then simply avoid it!!!!!! Another factor to consider getting the solar rebate is the products should be on this list or else you miss the rebate.
The solar inverters come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Usually, it is the size of briefcase unlike microinverters which is smaller in size. They are located near your meter box and should always be located in the shade for durability and best performance. However, if you think, the inverter will be exposed directly to sunlight, then it is advisable to have a shade cover or canopy for it.

Types of Solar Inverters

String Inverters

String inverters are the most common and popular in the residential category by Australians. Often, there is only one single inverter; however, depending on the solar system size and consumer requirements, there can be 2 string inverters. They function in a series of 6-12 solar panels which is called a series string. They are wall-mounted next to your meter box but sometimes it can have a different location depending on the installation.

Micro Inverters

Microinverters are tiny solar inverters about the size of a paper book. They are installed behind each solar panel and deliver more energy especially if there is shading and obstruction.
There are significant differences between string inverters and microinverters; however, the major difference is the full advantage of the production of the individual panel. Each panel will provide the maximum output maximising your savings over the long term.

Optimised String Inverters

Optimiser- based systems provide similar performance benefits like microinverters; however, there is a slight difference in technology. This system requires a string inverter and an optimiser beneath each solar panel optimising each panel output under different conditions.

Hybrid Inverters

Hybrid inverters are power conversion devices that combine the functions of a solar inverter and a battery inverter into a single unit. They are designed to work with both solar panels and energy storage systems, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in managing and utilizing renewable energy. They communicate with the battery using a technique called “DC Coupling” and its electronics coordinate the charging and discharging of the battery.
