INVERTER

A photovoltaic system inverter is a device that undertakes the conversion of solar energy collected by photovoltaic panels into electrical energy that is useful for electrical appliances and the grid. It works from morning to night, converting sunlight into electricity.

The main purpose of the inverter is to ensure that this energy is in the correct form and voltage for use by the home or business. In addition, it protects the system from problems such as overload and short circuits, ensuring its stable and safe operation.

The inverter is the core and brain of a photovoltaic system, because it performs multiple roles of essential importance:

  • Solar Energy Conversion: Sunlight, converted into electricity by photovoltaic panels, usually produces direct currents (DC). The inverter converts these DC currents into alternating currents (AC), which are necessary for the normal operation of electrical devices and for connection to the electricity grid.
  • Control and Monitoring: Modern inverters provide advanced capabilities for monitoring and controlling the performance of the PV system, including monitoring energy production and detecting potential faults.
  • Protection and Safety: Inverters provide protection against overvoltages, undervoltages and other electrical disturbances, thus protecting the system from damage and ensuring its safe operation.
  • Grid Connection: Inverters are responsible for the safe and efficient connection of the PV system to the electricity grid, allowing the generated energy to flow to consumers or the grid.
