Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between AC and DC Solar?

The difference lies in how and when electricity is converted from one type to another. In AC-coupled systems, solar electricity is converted multiple times before reaching your battery, while DC-coupled systems take a more direct route with fewer conversions.

What is the difference between AC-coupling and DC-coupled solar batteries?

AC-coupling is the preferred battery configuration for larger solar installations with high daytime loads, while DC-coupling works very well for smaller systems. We explain the advantages and disadvantages of each, along with the new generation of high-voltage DC batteries and AC battery systems.

Do solar panels convert DC to AC?

Any electricity the solar panels produce will be inverted only once (from DC to AC) as it flows from batteries to your home appliances or the electrical grid. DC-coupled solar energy systems have the advantage of being more efficient than AC-coupled systems.

How does a solar battery storage system work?

The battery storage is connected to the system via its own AC-coupled inverter, which converts the AC back to DC for charging the batteries. This configuration is often the preferred choice for retrofitting existing solar installations with battery storage.
