Inverters

Solar panels generate direct currentdirect current
Direct current (DC) means that the polarity remains unchanged, as opposed to alternate current (AC), where polarity will change 50 times per second for a 50 Hz frequency. A PV module provides direct current, like a car battery. An inverter can convert direct current into alternate current to be compatible with the public mains of 230 V and 50 Hz alternate current.
(DC). Before this current can be fed into the public grid, it must be converted to alternating current (AC). An inverterinverter
Solar modules generate direct current. To feed it into the public mains, it must be converted into alternate current. Conversion is possible using inverters. The inverter has other functions as well: It monitors the mains for interferences, warranting protection of the PV modules from overvoltage from the mains and during thunderstorms. The solar plant switches off when the mains fails. The inverter also records operating data to analyse the photovoltaic plant's operation as well as occurrence of interferences. The inverters are very important for the solar plant's yield. Depending on weather, the irradiation situation influencing the PV generator may change quickly. For rich energy yield, the inverter must adjust, i.e. always find the maximum power point (MPP). This is called MPP tracking. The MPP voltage range indicates the thresholds within which best performance adjustment takes place.
is used to perform this conversion.


The inverters are very important for the yield of a solar plant. The amount of sunlight available can vary rapidly in certain weather conditions, which has an influence on the solar generator’s output. The inverterinverter

needs to adapt to achieve a rich energy yield – it needs to find the MPP (maximum power point). This is called MPP trackingtracking
Solar modules tracking the position of the sun may increase energy yield. The PV system's energy yield can be increased by approx. 30%. Tracking is performed by horizontal or vertical tracking systems. They are recommended where no Southern roof slant is available, or on open land.
