A solar inverter (also called a photovoltaic or PV inverter) converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) and is widely used in solar photovoltaic power generation systems. Solar inverters available today are generally divided into three types: central inverters, string inverters and micro-inverters.
Almost any solar systems of any scale include an inverter of some type to allow the power to be used on site for AC-powered appliances or on the grid. Different types of inverters are shown in Figure 11.1 as examples. The available inverter models are now very efficient (over 95% power conversion efficiency), reliable, and economical.
The three most common types of inverters made for powering AC loads include: (1) pure sine wave inverter (for general applications), (2) modified square wave inverter (for resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads), and (3) square wave inverter (for some resistive loads) (MPP Solar, 2015).
