As previously mentioned, Solar inverters are considered the brains of a solar energy system. This is to say, without the solar inverters, the whole system cannot function. The following are the basic functions of a solar inverter.

1. Convert Direct Current to Alternate Current

This is a solar inverter’s basic function that helps create power usable in homes and commercial properties.

2. Maximize Power Output

Solar inverters continually keep track of the solar array’s voltage to discover the maximum power at which the modules can function. If modules are degraded, or shading happens from environmental factors, the inverters can unintentionally identify the string’s wrong peak. This reduces the system’s general energy production.

3. Interface with The Grid

New smart solar inverters have advanced from one-way to two-way communication with the grid, helping with grid-supporting functions. Due to advanced software, smart inverters can carry out certain grid-supportive functions related to communication, frequency, voltage, and controls.

One of these grid-assistance functionalities is the ability to ride through minimal disturbances, such as voltage change. A smart inverter can turn into standby mode in the event of a voltage change and assess how long the disturbance occurs, and switch off if it persists.

4. Report on Power Production

Solar inverters help you to keep track of your solar system’s power output. The latest inverters have communication capabilities via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With their technology, you can view the error codes, power reduction data, and diagnostics from inverters on their dedicated smartphone apps or computers.

5. Ensure Safe System Operation

Solar inverters need to shut down in the event of an arc to avoid material degradation and system ageing. JNTECH solar inverter can effectively ensure the safe operation of the system.
