Regulates voltage and filters harmonic distortion. Allows households to use stored or generated energy, lowering utility bills. . An inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. Think of it as a translator between two different electrical languages – your solar panels, batteries, and car electrical systems speak “DC,” while your home appliances. . An inverter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system. [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. However the output is not a sine wave. It can be square wave, quasi square wave or PWM.
