On-grid inverter
Works with the utility grid, usually with anti-islanding safety. Grid loss generally stops normal export.
Technology
Solar inverters explained
A good inverter converts panel DC electricity into usable AC power and manages safety and monitoring.
Request a site survey ↗Hybrid inverter
May support compatible battery integration and backup circuits when designed with the correct equipment.
Microinverter
Panel-level conversion can be useful for some roof designs; compare cost and service considerations.
What to compare
Capacity, MPPT inputs, efficiency, protection, monitoring, warranty and after-sales access.
Installer questions worth asking
- What is the recommended DC:AC sizing ratio?
- Does the inverter support the expected panel voltage and number of strings?
- How are surge protection, isolators and earthing installed?
- Will app monitoring and ownership access be handed over?
A normal on-grid system does not automatically provide backup during a power cut.
