Best High-Efficient Solar Inverters

What are solar inverters?

A solar inverter, or PV inverter, or Solar converter, converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network.

What are the different types of solar inverters?

Most homes have central inverters, which make the conversion from DC to AC from a box in one location, like your garage wall. A newer type of solar inverter, called microinverters, work directly and independently under each solar panel. These are a little more expensive and take more time to install.
