Solar Inverters

What is solar inverters?

Solar inverters used to be primarily responsible for converting solar energy into electricity usable in our homes, businesses and grids. Their role is limited to managing the energy production of a single PV system. However, Tongrun photoelectron recognizes the potential that inverters can offer as smart energy managers, while helping the world decarbonize energy production. Tongrun photoelectron is committed to improving the way we produce and consume energy, pioneering the transformation of solar PV inverters into smart energy managers.

What are types of Solar Inverters?

There are 3 major types of inverters - sine wave (sometimes referred to as a "true" or "pure" sine wave), modified sine wave (actually a modified square wave), and square wave. A sine wave is what you get from your local utility company and (usually) from a generator.

A 3-step guide to choose the right inverter & inverter batteries

Step 1: Identify Your Power Requirements. Do not get baffled by the word 'Identify'. ...

Step 2: Check the VA Rating of the Inverter. ...

VA = Power Requirement/Power Factor. ...

Step 3: Get an Appropriate Battery for the Inverter.

Applications of solar inverters

A solar panel inverter can help maximize your energy production, monitor your system's output, communicate with the utility grid, and detect faults that might otherwise damage your solar power system.

Inverter is a gadget to convert DC energy to AC power. It is extensively used for renewable power sources like wind and solar and is a crucial element of the modern energy sector.

The principle of the inverter is to convert direct current into alternating current. Its working process needs to go through the following steps:

1. The direct current is converted into a square or sine wave alternating current through semiconductor switching devices, such as transistors and silicon-controlled rectifiers.

2. Convert the square or sine wave AC into a stable sine wave AC through filters and transformers.

3. Output the converted sine wave AC for the load.

There are many types of inverters and different classification methods according to different standards. For example, according to the size of the output power, it can be divided into small inverters and large inverters; according to the working principle, it can be divided into thyristor inverters and transistor inverters; according to the output voltage waveform, it can be divided into square wave inverters and sine wave inverters. Inverters and more.

Inverters are extensively used across a variety of areas. In the case of electricity generated by solar energy, Inverters convert direct electricity generated by solar panels to an alternating current that can be used in industrial and home applications. If wind power is employed, an inverter converts the direct current generated by wind turbines to an alternating voltage that could later be transferred to the grid. For electric vehicles, an inverter transforms the direct current produced by batteries into an alternating voltage and is later used to provide power.
