Solar, battery and hybrid inverters explained — Clean Energy Reviews

26 Feb.,2024

 

With the wide variety of solar battery systems on the market, there is a lot of confusion about the different types of inverters and what’s best for a typical household. In this article, we explain the differences and hopefully help clear up some of the confusing and conflicting terminologies such as multi-mode inverter, inverter-charger, battery-ready inverter, and AC batteries.

What does an inverter do?

First, let’s clarify what an inverter is. Solar panels produce DC power, and batteries store DC energy, but households and most appliances run on AC power, which is also supplied by the electricity grid. Inverter converts DC power to AC power, but not all inverters are the same; solar inverters and battery inverters have very different purposes, which we explain in more detail below.
