When people think about solar panels, they often imagine the panels themselves — the sleek modules soaking up the sun on your roof. But there’s a vital component that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves: the inverter.
What Does an Inverter Do?
Your solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity. However, your home and most appliances run on alternating current (AC). The inverter’s job is to convert DC into usable AC power so you can run your lights, appliances, and gadgets.
Types of Inverters:
- String Inverter: The most common type, where multiple panels are connected in series. If one panel underperforms, it can affect the whole string.
- Microinverter: Each panel has its own small inverter, offering improved performance and monitoring.
- Hybrid Inverter: Combines solar and battery management, great for homes with energy storage systems.
Why It Matters
The inverter plays a key role in the efficiency and reliability of your system. A poor-quality inverter can reduce output and lead to more maintenance issues. That’s why Fiesta Solar only installs trusted, high-performance inverters that are built to last.
