What is a solar grid tie inverter?

On grid inverters are commonly used in applications where direct current voltage sources are connected to the grid, such as solar panels and small wind turbines. The output voltage frequency of the solar grid tie inverter needs to be same as the grid frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz).

Can you use an off-grid inverter for a grid tie solar PV system?

You can’t use an off-grid inverter for a grid tie solar PV system. It can easily damage the whole system and here is why. Unlike off-grid inverters, grid tie inverters have a special control device to match the inverter cycles with the utility grid cycles. They need to be in phase, otherwise the voltages will cancel each other out.

What is Y&H grid tie inverter?

Y&H grid tie inverter is designed for solar panels. The working voltage of solar panels depends on the intensity of sunlight, which means that the panel voltage varies. There is also an increase in the voltage at the moment the solar panel starts. When you use a 12V solar panel, the working voltage of the panel is 18V-21V.

What makes a good grid tie inverter?

There is a range of grid tie inverters suitable for different budgets and energy needs. When looking for one, consider the following things: Efficiency. This is how much power the inverter delivers from the batteries to your home under the perfect conditions. A good efficiency rating is from 94% to 96%. Self-consumption.

How efficient is a solar grid-tie inverter?

The efficiency of an inverter is close to 100%, which means that almost no electricity loss occurs while it's working. DC-AC converting is not its only function. Solar grid-tie inverter also gives the owner an option to monitor the functionality of the whole system.

Do grid tie inverters come with a warranty?

Normally, inverters come with up to a 10 year warranty. A1 SolarStore has a range of grid tie inverters for sale. You can purchase them online or by calling our toll-free number. Our managers will be more than happy to assist you with your purchase.
