What's an inverter?
What does an inverter do?
We call the power you generate with solar panels direct current. Your TV, dryer, or fridge don't run on this type of power, but on alternating current. An inverter helps with this and converts direct current into alternating current. After, the inverter transfers this power to your fuse box which divides the power over the appliances in your home. This way, your appliances can run on the generated solar power.
What's the best place for an inverter?
We prefer to place the central inverter in the attic. This way, the distance between the panels and the inverter is the smallest. This way, you don't lose any solar power. In addition, an inverter needs space for ventilation and can make some noise. The sound is similar to the buzz of a fridge. Are you choosing a solar roof with micro inverters? We then place inverters on your roof, directly behind the panel.
