Grid inverter

The inverter is an essential component of your photovoltaic system, as it converts the direct current (DC) generated into alternating current (AC) suitable for household use. This makes the electricity usable both for your own consumption and for feeding into the grid.

How it works

Grid inverters convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar systems into alternating current (AC), which is suitable for feeding into the public power grid or for your own consumption. This conversion process is crucial, as most electrical devices and the power grid itself rely on alternating current.

Feeding into the power grid

A key feature of grid inverters is their ability to feed the generated electricity into the public power grid. This allows you not only to cover your own energy needs, but also to sell surplus energy back to the grid for a fee.

monitoring and control

Most modern grid inverters have advanced monitoring and control functions. These allow you to monitor the performance of your solar system in real time, detect faults early on, and operate the system efficiently.

Efficiency and reliability

The efficiency and reliability of grid inverters are crucial to the overall performance of a photovoltaic system. Efficient inverters maximize energy yield, while reliability ensures that the system operates stably and with low maintenance over the long term.

FAQ

  1. How do grid inverters differ from hybrid inverters? Unlike hybrid inverters, grid inverters cannot operate battery storage systems.
  2. What is the difference between single-phase and multi-phase inverters? Single-phase inverters feed electricity into the grid in single-phase mode, while three-phase inverters feed energy into the grid in at least two phases. This minimizes the amount of energy stored in the device, thereby extending its service life.
  3. What does "grid feed-in" or "feed-in to the power grid" mean? Grid feed-in refers to the process of feeding excess solar energy into the public power grid. This happens when your own consumption has been covered and the solar system continues to generate energy.
