An Inverter is the second most important and expensive element of a Solar Power Kit
Fronius Inverters
What’s an inverter?
Inverters convert the electricity created by your solar panels (DC, or direct current) into electricity that can be used by the plugs in your house (AC, or alternating current). When you have solar panels installed on your roof, you’ll also get an inverter as part of your system. Here’s more information on how solar inverters work.
Fronius inverters
Based in the U.S., Fronius is a leading manufacturer of solar inverters. Fronius inverters are designed to work well with all different brands of solar panels. The processor control, software, and other features make them versatile. They’re reliable and efficient– the efficiencies are around 95%. The more efficient an inverter, the more energy you’ll be getting from each ray of sunshine that hits your solar panels.
Monitoring systems
Along with an inverter, you’ll want to use some type of monitoring system to see how your solar system is performing. Fronius offers a small display you can use to read current data without running to look at your inverter directly. The data is sent via radio transmission from your inverter to the display, and it’s easy to set up and use. You can also choose to buy communication hardware for your inverter that can send information to a web service, so you can view it online. One option uses a USB output to your computer, which can update with new data every hour, while your computer is on. Another option, the “Datalogger Web,” plugs directly into your wireless network and sends data continuously to Fronius’s server.
