Do you know what a solar inverter is and what it is used for? In this video we explain in an easy and simple way what types of solar inverters there are and how to choose the best photovoltaic inverter for a solar panel installation in a home or business. Solar inverters are one of the most important elements of a solar installation with solar panels. The function of an inverter is simple, it is responsible for transforming the direct current generated by the solar panel installation into alternating current. Once we know what a solar inverter is and what it is used for, we must take into account what types of solar inverters there are. To do this, we divide them into three categories: isolated solar inverter, grid inverter and hybrid inverter. Each of them is specifically designed for a different type of solar panel installation. The inverter isolated from the electrical grid, also known as a charger inverter, is used for solar panel installations that do not have access to the electrical grid. Thanks to them, we can store the electrical energy from the solar panels in solar batteries, to use that energy at night or on days when solar radiation is insufficient. These solar inverters also allow us to charge solar batteries from an external alternating current source, such as an electric generator. The grid inverter, also called a self-consumption inverter, must be connected to the electrical grid in order to function. And what is its function? It is responsible for transforming the direct current that comes from the solar panels into alternating current, directly to feed our consumption in the home or business. If we are producing more electricity than we need, we can pour that surplus into the electrical grid to receive compensation from our electricity supplier. The hybrid inverter, like the self-consumption inverter, must be connected to the electrical grid in order to function. This type of solar inverter has the function of being able to charge solar batteries, which makes it the most attractive option. During the day, we supply consumption directly from the solar panels, and with the surplus we will charge the solar batteries to use this energy at night. #solarinverter #solarpanelinverter #solarinverters 0:00 Intro 0:25 Function and categories of a photovoltaic inverter 2:34 Isolated inverters from the electrical grid 5:00 Grid-tie inverters 6:41 Hybrid inverters 8:50 Isolated inverter (Victron) 9:54 Isolated inverter (Tensite) 10:30 Isolated inverter compatibility 13:25 Self-consumption inverters (String inverter VS Microinverter) 16:55 Hybrid inverters (Characteristics and comparisons) 19:51 Hybrid inverters with batteries (Full back-up VS Ready to battery) 21:22 AutoSolar Website and Contact ????
