Solar Inverters

Hybrid, grid-tied or off-grid?

Hybrid inverters combine solar and battery storage and keep essential circuits running during load-shedding or outages. Grid-tied inverters, including SolarEdge optimiser systems and Enphase microinverters, feed solar into the building's supply to cut daytime consumption. Off-grid inverters run sites with no grid connection from solar and batteries.

Sizing an inverter

Size the inverter to the client's peak load and to the array, and match its battery voltage to the storage you plan to use: 48 V low-voltage systems for most homes, high-voltage battery systems for larger commercial installations. Single-phase units suit most homes; three-phase inverters serve larger homes and businesses.

Complete the system

Pair the inverter with lithium batteries, solar panels and DC and AC protection from the same order.
