Solar panel and converter.

Each string carries the dc power the solar panels produce to the string inverter where it s converted into usable ac power consumed as electricity. Sometimes mistakenly called a converter solar panel inverters deal less with voltage level and more with current type switching power from dc to alternating current ac what most home appliances use to function. When your panels produce energy it all gets sent to a single inverter which is usually located on the side of your home in a garage or in your basement. Solar panels are installed in rows each on a string for example if you have 25 panels you may have 5 rows of 5 panels.

Without a solar inverter energy harnessed by solar panels can t easily be put to use. In a grid tied system solar panels connect directly to an inverter which ties into your main household electrical panel. Solar inverters are devices that convert the electricity from the solar panels which is generally in direct current into alternating current. Most appliances lighting and household electronics use the alternating current hence the conversion need.

Multiple strings are connected to one string inverter. Grid tie inverters come in several options. Each varies with features and costs.
