In the realm of solar energy systems, inverters play a critical role in converting direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) that can be used by household appliances or fed back into the electrical grid. On-grid inverters and off-grid inverters are two main types, each serving distinct purposes depending on the solar setup. In this blog, we’ll explore the differences between on-grid and off-grid inverters and introduce Sungrow‘s SG125CX-P2 on-grid inverter, highlighting its advanced features and benefits.
Differences Between On-Grid and Off-Grid Inverters
- On-Grid Inverters
– Purpose: On-grid inverters, also known as grid-tied inverters, are designed to synchronize with the utility grid. They convert solar-generated electricity into AC power that matches the grid’s voltage and frequency. This allows homeowners to use solar energy while also drawing electricity from the grid when needed. Excess solar energy can be exported back to the grid, often earning credits through net metering or feed-in tariffs.
– Features: On-grid inverters typically do not have battery storage capabilities since they rely on the grid for energy storage. They prioritize maximizing solar energy usage and optimizing system performance through features like Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and grid synchronization.
- Off-Grid Inverters
– Purpose: Off-grid inverters are used in standalone solar systems that are not connected to the utility grid. They convert DC electricity from solar panels into AC power for immediate use by appliances or for storage in batteries. Off-grid systems are common in remote locations where connecting to the grid is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
– Features: Off-grid inverters often include battery management functions to control charging and discharging cycles. They must also manage energy loads and prioritize system efficiency to ensure reliable power supply without grid support.
