Technical FAQs 4

How do I connect my solar system to a 3 phase inverter?

Your 3 options are: 1) connect your solar system to only one of your supply phases with a single-phase solar inverter. 2) connect your system into all 3 phases of your supply with a single, 3-phase solar inverter 3) connect your system into all 3 phases with 3 separate single-phase inverters.

Do you need a single phase inverter?

Single-phase inverters are simpler, cost-effective, and ideal for residential solar and battery setups. Large homes and commercial buildings benefit from smoother power delivery and higher capacity. A single-phase home needs a single-phase inverter, while a three-phase system requires a three-phase inverter. Got a battery? Optimise it – for free

How many phases should a solar inverter support?

Your solar inverter should support the number of phases in your property’s electrical circuits. For example, a three phase inverter includes three internal circuits to manage and supply each phase, compared to one phase inverters that can handle one phase. Therefore, we recommend installing dedicated single-phase and three-phase inverters.

What is the difference between a single-phase and a 3-phase solar inverter?

In the case that you have a single-phase connection, electricity flows in and out of your home through a single phase (imagine a single cable/circuit). If you have a 3-phase solar inverter connection, on the other hand, the electricity entering your home is divided into three separate phases (imagine three cables/circuits).
