What is Solar Inverter?
A solar inverter or PV inverter is a type of power inverter which converts the variable direct current output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network.

What does a solar inverter do?
An inverter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system. It’s a device that converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical grid uses.
How long does a solar inverter last?
The solar inverters on panels usually last between 10-12 years and typically need replacing at least once over the panel’s lifetime. Power inverters are crucial for the safe and efficient operation of solar panels.
What size inverter do I need for solar panels?
As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to match your solar panel wattage. So if you have a 3000-watt solar panel system, you’ll need at least a 3000-watt inverter.
