Why Do You Need Inverters?

Why Do You Need Inverters?

Solar energy systems are one of the most important building blocks of sustainable energy production. However, solar panels alone do not produce electricity usable in homes or businesses. This is because panels produce direct current (DC), whereas all the electrical devices we use in our daily lives operate on alternating current (AC).

The critical component that enables this conversion is the inverter. In other words, the inverter is not just a converter; it is also the heart of the energy.

Solinved seamlessly integrates smart inverter technologies that aim for maximum efficiency in solar energy systems, ensuring both energy conversion and energy management.

In this article, we will examine in detail why inverters are needed, how they work, and the differences between Solinved's inverter technologies.

What is an Inverter?

An inverter is a device that converts DC (direct current) electricity from solar panels into AC (alternating current) electricity used in the grid.

Simply put, an inverter converts the electricity from solar panels into usable electricity for devices like refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, and industrial motors in your home.

However, modern inverters don't just convert energy.
Solinved's smart inverters:

Optimize energy production

Perform efficiency analyses

Provide overload, voltage, or temperature protection

Offer remote monitoring and management.

Why Do We Need Inverters?

1. To Convert DC to AC

Solar panels produce direct current (DC) when converting sunlight into electrical energy. Electrical devices used in homes and businesses operate on alternating current (AC).

Inverters eliminate the difference between these two current types.
By converting DC to AC, they enable the use of solar energy in daily life.

Solinved inverters achieve this conversion with minimal loss, achieving maximum efficiency (up to 98%).

2. To Optimize Energy Production

Each solar panel produces a different amount of energy depending on sunlight, temperature, and shading conditions. This variability can reduce system efficiency.

Inverters detect the maximum power point of each panel using MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology. This continuously optimizes panel efficiency.

The result: Up to 20% more energy is obtained from the same panel area.

3. Managing the Energy Flow

Modern inverters not only convert energy; they also manage how the energy is used in the system. Solinved smart inverters can distribute the generated energy in three different directions:

Instantaneous energy consumption,

Battery storage,

Energy transfer to the grid.

In this way, the inverter becomes the center of smart energy management.

4. Ensuring Grid Compatibility

For solar energy systems to work seamlessly with the public grid, the system's frequency, voltage, and phase values ​​must match the grid.

The inverter is the device that enables this synchronization. On-grid inverters transfer excess energy to the grid while simultaneously protecting the security of the system.

5. Integration with Energy Storage Systems

Not only is energy generated important, but it's also stored when needed. Solinved hybrid inverters are fully compatible with lithium battery systems, storing excess energy.

Energy generated during the day is stored and used in the evening or on days when the sun isn't shining. This allows users to have off-grid energy.

6. Providing Safe and Stable Energy

Power fluctuations, overloads, or voltage spikes can damage system components. In these cases, the inverter regulates the current and maintains it at a safe level.

Solinved inverters provide long-lasting and stable energy flow with safety features such as:

Overheating protection,

Short circuit protection,

Voltage unbalance protection,

and so on.

High-Level Security: All models feature overvoltage, temperature, and short circuit protection.

Smart MPPT Technology: Ensures maximum production by monitoring individual power points for each panel array.

What Happens to a Solar Energy System Without an Inverter?

If a solar energy system is installed without an inverter:

Panels produce DC current, but household appliances cannot use this electricity.

Energy cannot be directly transferred to the grid.

Battery and energy management are not possible.

System efficiency decreases significantly.

In short, a solar energy system without an inverter is nothing more than a missing core.

Smart Energy Management with Solinved

Solinved inverters not only generate electricity; they also act as a management center that intelligently manages energy.
By working integrated with solar panels, batteries, and solar drives, they offer users maximum energy efficiency, complete security, and long-lasting performance.
