Technical FAQs 4

What is a grid connected solar inverter?

This type of inverter is suitable for remote areas with unstable power supply or no access to the power grid. A grid-connected solar inverter is a device that converts the direct current output by solar panels into alternating current and directly supplies it to the power grid.

What is an off-grid inverter?

Though fundamentally an off-grid inverter, this versatile model features grid input support—allowing it to draw power from the grid when solar and battery resources are insufficient. Commonly known as an off-grid hybrid inverter, it combines solar + battery + optional grid power, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply.

What is an on-grid solar inverter?

1. On-Grid Solar Inverter An on-grid solar inverter connects directly to the utility grid. It synchronizes the solar system with grid electricity and exports excess energy. On-grid systems are cost-effective. They reduce electricity bills and enable net metering, where users get credited for the energy they supply to the grid.

What is a grid-tied inverter?

A grid-tied inverter solely designed for solar-to-grid applications, with no battery support. It provides efficient solar energy conversion and direct grid feed-in but cannot store energy. Ideal for locations with stable grid access and net metering policies, where users aim to offset electricity bills without investing in battery systems.
