What type of solar inverter?

Inverter technologies have evolved considerably. So you're probably wondering: which should I choose? What type is the most suitable and cost-effective? To find out more about the different types available and which is the right choice for your needs, follow us :

On-grid inverter: Most small-scale solar panel installation systems use an on-grid inverter, also known as a ‘centralised’ inverter. These solution are the most commonly installed inverters. The DC (direct current) electricity generated by the solar panels is plugged into this inverter. It converts this electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. The advantage of it is its performance and cost. They are also the easiest to maintain, as they are in an easily accessible location. These inverters now incorporate shade management, which makes up for their shortcomings when compared with solar microinverters.

Micro-inverters: As their name suggests, micro-inverters are much smaller in size and capacity than standard inverters. While standard inverters (network inverters) are between 1.5 and 5 kW in size for residential applications, they are generally around 200 to 600 W in size. Unlike grid inverters, which convert all the DC electricity produced collectively by your panels, micro-inverters are generally installed on the back of each panel and convert the DC electricity from one or 2 solar panels on which they are installed. One of the main advantages is they cancel out the effect of partial or complete shading on one or more solar panels. However, they are more expensive than grid inverters.

Hybrid battery inverters: Hybrid inverters are designed to manage the power of the solar panels between the battery and your energy requirements. They determine the most economical source of energy between solar panels, solar batteries and the electricity grid. These are state-of-the-art. This product can work with or without batteries and also with or without the electricity grid. This means they can be adapted to suit all customer needs. Installing battery inverters is more expensive and more complicated. That's why ALMA SOLAR has set up a YouTube channel to teach you how to install these hybrid inverters, by brand respectively.

Power optimisers: Like micro, power optimisers can improve the efficiency of your solar panel system, and they are cheaper. They also offer the advantage of monitoring the performance of individual panels. What's more, systems with power optimisers can still produce significant energy even if one or two panels are underperforming. However, solar photovoltaic systems with power optimisers are more difficult to maintain.

Hybrid inverters: Did you know? Hybrid inverters perform the same function as standard string and battery inverters. A hybrid inverter can not only convert DC electricity into AC but also charge and discharge your solar battery. Another important point to bear in mind: most hybrid inverters can be installed without a battery.
Off-grid inverters: Like grid inverters, off-grid inverters are responsible for converting the DC electricity generated by the panels in your system into AC electricity that can be used by appliances in your home. However, unlike grid inverters, they do not have the capacity to export excess solar electricity to the grid. Off-grid inverters are used in remote areas. Are you still there? We're now going to talk about different brands. Are you ready?
