A grid-tied solar inverter is designed to convert the DC (direct current) electricity generated by solar panels into AC (alternating current) electricity that can be used in a home or business. It is connected to the utility grid, allowing surplus electricity to be sold back to the grid. In contrast, an off-grid solar inverter is specifically designed to be used in standalone systems where there is no access to the utility grid. It converts the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC electricity for immediate use or storage in batteries for later use.
A grid-tied solar inverter is connected to the local utility grid and allows for the transfer of excess energy generated by the solar panels back to the grid. This type of inverter does not have the capability to store energy and requires a constant grid connection to function.
On the other hand, an off-grid solar inverter is designed to be used in systems that operate independently from the utility grid. It is typically used in remote areas or locations where grid connection is not available. These inverters have the ability to store excess energy in batteries for later use when there is no solar generation.
A grid-tied solar inverter is designed to work with the traditional utility grid. It converts the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power that can be used in the home or business, and any excess power can be fed back into the grid. In contrast, an off-grid solar inverter is used in standalone systems, where there is no connection to the utility grid. It converts the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power for immediate use or for storage in batteries, ensuring a reliable power supply in isolated areas or during power outages.
