Both solar inverters and grid tie inverters have different purposes, but work hand in hand with other renewable energy sources. The solar inverter changes the current from the solar panels into useful alternating current (AC) for home appliances and the electrical grid. Grid tie inverters, on the other hand, are designed simply to work with grid electricity so that power can be exchanged smoothly. The type of inverter selected will also have a direct effect on the effectiveness of energy use as well as the laws within the region where the inverter will be utilized. Each of these different types has attributes backed up with specific features and applications which will help improve the energy strategy developed.
