string inverters

A string inverter is a device that converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) electricity for your home or the grid. It connects to a series of solar panels, called a "string," and manages the power flow from these panels. By centralizing the conversion process, string inverters simplify system design and maintenance, optimize energy output, and ensure safe operation. They are essential components in most photovoltaic systems, making the solar energy captured by panels practical for everyday use and distribution.
