It's a device that converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical grid uses. In DC, electricity is maintained at constant voltage in one direction. When your inverter stops working correctly, your entire solar system can underperform or stop generating electricity. Dust accumulation can obstruct sunlight, 3. . Grid-tied voltage source inverters, used to convert DC power generated by photovoltaic (PV) sources into AC power for injection into the grid, inherently generate voltage and current harmonics at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC).
