The inverter is the heart of every PV plant; it converts direct current of the PV modules into grid-compliant alternating current and feeds this into the public grid. At the same time, it controls and monitors the entire plant.
Moreover, the inverters are interconnected in parallel with PV cells, facilitating power conversion in a singular-stage configuration. In the traditional structure of solar power plants, inverters and low-frequency transformers are utilized as an interface between PV panels and the AC grid for power transmission.
One-phase inverters are usually used in small plants, in large PV plants either a network consisting of several one-phase inverters or three-phase inverters have to be used on account of the unbalanced load of 4.6 kVA.
The available power output starts at two kilowatts and extends into the megawatt range. Typical outputs are 5 kW for private home rooftop plants, 10 – 20 kW for commercial plants (e.g., factory or barn roofs) and 500 – 800 kW for use in PV power stations. 2. Module wiring The DC-related design concerns the wiring of the PV modules to the inverter.
