What are the functions of a solar inverter?
The functions of a solar inverter – Some people know it but more people don’t. We will give a brief introduction in this post.
The main function is to convert the DC power from solar panels into AC power that can be used in homes and industries. On a broader scale, an inverter is required wherever there is a need to convert DC power into AC power.

The main components of a solar inverter: Shell and terminals, Heat sink, Display screen, Controller board, Power supply board and Power board.
Let’s have a look at the functions of each part:
The shell and terminals: Wire connection, protection.
The heat sink: Heat dissipation
The display screen: Display the status and data of the system
The power-supply board: Power supply for the inverter
The controller board: Core part for functions control and Algorithm control.
The Power board: Core part. Most circuits are integrated into it.
