Solar Inverters


Solar Inverters

Selecting the right quality inverter is essential to maximize the benefits of your solar investment.

Inverters play a pivotal role in harnessing solar energy. Without them, utilizing solar power for your appliances would be impossible. Wondering what they do?

Solar Inverter Types

String Solar Inverters

String solar inverters are the most common type of solar inverter, and they are connected to a series of solar panels. String inverters are the most common type of inverter used in Europe, Australia, and Asia, and they are gaining traction in the United States, where micro inverters are also popular.

Hybrid Inverters

Hybrid inverters, also known as battery ready inverters, combine a solar inverter and a battery inverter into a single unit. Most can also provide basic backup power in the event of a power outage. As hybrid inverters are becoming more competitive with solar inverters.

Off-Grid Inverters

Off-grid or stand-alone power systems necessarily involve powerful battery inverters with built-in chargers that can be configured as either AC or DC coupled solar systems. Off-grid inverter/chargers which are modern and flexible could also be used to create advanced hybrid grid-connected systems.

Micro Inverters

Micro inverters, also known as micros, are extremely small solar inverters that are directly attached to individual solar panels. Because each micro inverter and panel operates independently, they are an excellent choice for complex roof layouts and areas with shading issues. Micros are extremely popular in North America, despite their slightly higher price.

APsystems DS3

The DS3 series reaches unprecedented levels of power output and is fully backwards compatible with QS1 and YC600 microinverters and accessories. It features 2 input channels, each with independent MPPT, and encrypted wireless Zigbee communication. An innovative and compact design makes the product lighter while maximizing power production, and silicone-encapsulated components reduce stress on electronics, facilitate thermal dissipation, and enhance weatherproofing. Reliability is significantly increased thanks to 20% fewer components than previous generations. With its unparalleled performance, efficiency of 97%, and increased reliability, the APsystems DS3 series is a gamechanger for residential and commercial solar.

Goodwe

GoodWe is a large, well-known Chinese inverter manufacturer that was founded in 2010, and the new generation Goodwe DNS series inverters have received positive feedback from installers thus far. We now have a large selection of hybrid inverters. Wifi monitoring is standard on all Goodwe inverters. The DNS series has a 5-year warranty with the option to extend it to 25 years. The new Goodwe SEMS system monitoring portal is an excellent, comprehensive platform for monitoring both PV and energy storage systems.

Fronius

Since the release of the innovative snap-in design in 2012, Fronius Inverters has held the top spot for much of the last eight years. Due to their proven performance and reliability, as well as the excellent service provided by the Fronius support team, these Austrian-made inverters have become the inverter of choice for many domestic and commercial solar installations. An additional free five years extended warranty is available when the inverter is registered online, which gives a total ten warranty period.

AlphaESS

The inverter features AC-Coupling for smooth grid integration and comes with a built-in battery for continuous power supply. Its modular design ensures scalability for varying energy needs, while its user-friendly nature guarantees easy installation. Additionally, its durable construct ensures low maintenance, making it a cost-effective and efficient choice.
