Solar energy is gaining popularity and success growth day by day in our country. And competition is going up and up. So many companies and brands are working in the field of solar energy. So many products are available in the market to include inverters. The solar inverter is the main part of the solar energy system. In the market a huge verity of solar inverter is available but our main concern to find the best solar inverter for our home solar energy system. Hybrid inverter and battery inverters are the best inverters for a home solar system. First, we need to understand what solar inverter is and how it works?
What is solar inverter and what is its working?
A solar inverter is a converter of DC to AC. It collects the Direct current from the photovoltaic solar plates and converts it to Alternative current for powering grid and off-grid systems. The Converter protects the whole system from variation in current and provides stable power stream. If the converter is connected to a battery, it keeps the system on as well as charge the battery. It protects the system from the current overflow.
Types of solar inverter:
Here are the main inverters that we are going to discuss.
String inverters:
A string inverter is a simple type or we can say the main inverter. All inverters are the next form of string inverters. String inverters are mostly used in residential areas. And due to its connection with lots of strings, its name is string inverter.
Central Inverters:
Central inverters are the same as string inverters but the main difference between them is that these inverters are used to handle a large amount of electricity. These inverters are the same as a large array installed. They are used to handle electricity for a large system of the commercial and industrial solar system. These are highly efficient and have a low cost per watt. These are easy to install, you no need to install inverters one by one for different portions. But the problem you can face is the big size and noise of central inverter. If there is damage in a single entity of inverter whole system will be disturbed.
Micro-Inverters:
Microinverters are the latest inverters available in the market. Their size is the same as a small book. You can fit these inverters on the backside of solar panels pole. Microinverters are very easy to install and carry. As they are connected individually they are controlling the solar panels individually. When there is an issue in supply, the whole system will remain working except the one where the issue is. They are easy to carry and install but the problem is that they are a lot in numbers, for maintenance you should keep eyes on all the inverters.
Hybrid Inverter:
Hybrid inverters are the latest and multi-mode inverters. Hybrid inverters are the best option for the home solar systems that are using both grid electricity and solar electricity because it has the ability to control electricity from both connections grid electricity and solar panel energy. You can connect the battery bank directly to this inverter. Hybrid Inverter has the ability to charge the battery with both types of electricity. Hybrid inverters have so many abilities and types. They also can manage wind electricity, turbines, and many other power sources.
This type of inverter is known as an all-rounder in inverters due to its capability of handling all type of energy systems. One more thing is amazing is that they are programmable and efficient. They will help you a lot in your power and money-saving as well as they can be used in off-grid because of affordable (3kva and 5kva) hybrid solar inverter price in the local and online market of Pakistan and in the simple solar system also without any connection of the battery.
As it is able to control all type of connection at the same time, this feature reduces its efficiency against the dedicated inverters.
Battery Inverters:
Battery inverters are also used in the home solar system due to its efficiency and two way supply. It can convert DC to AC and vice versa. It is clear from its name that they are dedicated to the battery charging. You can install these inverters to charge the battery from grid electricity; Most of the peoples are also using it for solar system backup charging.
Peoples are efficient to work with any system either they are off-grid or either they are only solar energy systems. They also can be used with PV systems to make them more efficient.
Last Note:
These are the main types of inverter that peoples are using in their homes as well as in commercial and industrial areas. Choose the right option according to the requirements of your solar energy system. All the inverters are available in the local market as well as in the online market on best and affordable solar inverter price in Pakistan. You can buy these inverters on best prices with-out any market analysis. You just need to understand your basic requirements and then choose a battery according to requirement that will be efficient while using.
