What You Need to Know About Solar Inverters and Battery Storage

Solar inverters are an integral component of your solar + battery system, yet they’re rarely talked about. While battery storage is the essential ingredient for energy independence – giving you the ability to store and use your energy how you please – the solar process wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of your solar inverter. So, what is a solar inverter? And how do inverters and batteries work together?

What does a solar inverter do?

While different solar inverters are used for various solar systems, commonly, they convert the direct current (DC) energy generated by your panels into alternating current (AC) electricity to use in the home. This is primarily present in grid-based systems, which cannot store energy. However, you still need an inverter if you have a battery – read on to find out why.

A solar PV inverter also plays an important role in providing communication, not just between the equipment of your solar + battery system but also for owners. They help you track your system’s electrical generation so you can streamline and maximise your system’s power output. For example,have an app for tracking and managing their generated energy – inverters play a large part in quantifying this information.

Hybrid inverters

A hybrid inverter mitigates this issue by combining solar and battery inverters into one unit. This means that your panels and battery are being fuelled and managed by the same piece of technology – increasing the accuracy of the information it provides you with and decreasing installation and maintenance costs.

What happens when you pair solar inverters with batteries?

So as you can see, a solar inverter with a battery is a necessity – you can’t use your stored electricity without an inverter. They are the quiet workers in the engine room.

As we become more equipped and savvy in our solar management, batteries aren’t a luxurious addition anymore – they’re a requirement. Batteries are the difference between being in control of your power generation or still being reliant on the grid (and the significant cost attached to that). With this in mind, hybrid inverters are your best choice as they can act as an energy converter for both solar panels and batteries. By the way, no solar power system is complete without a battery.

What type of inverter do we use?

solar + battery solution has a smart hybrid inverter with a DC-coupled battery, which creates greater adaptability and efficiency as the generated power doesn’t need to be converted to AC right away.

When our hybrid inverter is paired with our solar panels and battery, they help unlock comprehensive monitoring, increasing control over the system and optimising function.
