Solar Inverter Types - The Basics | Solar Advice

In this video we take you through the different Solar Inverter Types, and The Basics of what they are, how they work and why you need one when building a solar power system!

After going through a brief history lesson on where these inverters originated from, we touch on the basics of the most common inverters namely being Off-Grid, Grid-Tied and Hybrid (Our personal favourite)

Hello, first of all great content. I have 36kw of solar panels, ground installation. It must be limited on 23kw cause that will be max grid will accept. I 'm in dillema of choosing inverter between 25kw SMA or some 30 or 33kw Huawei. I'm closer with SMA cause they are more premium brand but i have concern about power. They do not offer anything between 25 and 50.

Hi, I have two questions about DC Protection boxes that I could not find answers to on your website or in other videos:

Firstly, is it absolutely necessary to install a DC protection box between the pv panels and a hybrid inverter?
Secondly, what is the Ah-rating that you have on your website for these DC protection boxes? This unit does not make sense to me as I would expect it to be rated in amps, probably because I am not familiar with how they work.

I would appreciate some advice! Thanks :)

One thing I am not very clear about hybrid inverter is: it is tie to the grid, but it does not feed power back to the grid, is that right?

What do you call an inverter that has a charge controller vs an inverter that does not have a charge controller?
