How Do Solar Inverters Work?

Exeltech inverters may be the one piece of electrical equipment that most solar energy users do not know much about. They are very discrete, unobtrusive boxes that convert direct current (DC), in this case from Solar Panels, to alternating current (AC) for practical use. With the use of proper transformers, switching, and circuit controls, alternating current can be converted to any voltage and frequency.

Apart from solar panels, Exeltech inverters are also used to transmit power from batteries and fuel cells.

Most property owners using solar electricity use grid tie Exeltech inverters. These inverters are capable of feeding back energy into the utility grid because it produces alternating current with the amplitude and frequency as the energy provided by the utility distribution network. These are quite useful as they can shut off in the event of a blackout.

Micro-inverters are used to convert direct current from individual solar panels into alternating current solely for feeding it into the utility grid.

A commercial generator or un-interruptible power supply uses a battery and an inverter to store alternating current for a main power distribution outage. Once main power is restored, a rectifier is used to supply direct current electricity for recharging the battery.

Why Do You Need An Inverter?

Solar panels produce DC (direct current) electricity. DC electricity is created by electrons moving in one direction from negative to positive. It’s mainly used in basic applications involving the use of a battery such as a flashlight and is good for use over short distances.
