Which solar inverter is best for a home?

Solar inverter: When solar panels absorb sunlight then the solar power system converts this sunlight into electrical/current energy, but the energy absorbed by solar panels is in the fprm of direct current thus solar inverter is an electrical device that is used to convert direct current to alternating current. This produced electricity/current can be used for household purposes.

Luminous or Microtek solar inverter is mostly used for home appliances. Microtek and luminous are the leading brands in India that manufacture the best solar inverter.

Luminous is classified into two types of inverters i.e off-grid and grid-tied solar inverters, but off-grid is more popular. An Off-grid system works without grids. Generally, grid-tied inverters are used for residential and commercial use.

A luminous solar inverter is further classified into two types.

One is PWM and the other is MPPT

PWM-based – PWM stands for a pulse with modulation, these inverter low on efficiency but prices are very low. PWM-based inverters are used for small needs. PMW is recommended for smaller use such as running 3-5 fans, 7-10 lights, 1-2 Television, 1 Refrigerator day and night.

MPPT Based – MPPT stands for Maximum power point tracking. If you want to wipe out your electricity bills then we strongly recommend opting for MPPT based inverters. Mppt based inverters are highly efficient with an efficiency of up to 96%.

Types of solar inverter that are mostly used:

1. String Solar Inverters:

The most common 'string' solar inverters are the most popular type of solar inverters. These inverters are connected to a string of solar panels linked together in series.

2.Micro-Inverter:

As the name suggests 'micro inverter' is an inverter that is small in size. Micros are very small solar inverters attached directly to individual solar panels. Since each microinverter and panel operate independently, they are a great option for a complex roof.

3. Off-grid inverter:

An off-grid system works without a grid. Off-grid systems require inbuilt chargers and powerful battery inverters with which can be set up as either alternating current or direct current coupled solar systems.

Things to remember while choosing a solar inverter for home:

While choosing a solar inverter for the home you should check what type of inverter is best for home purpose. The main thing you should check its manufacturer's warranty and its capacity. You should choose a trustable brand while choosing a solar inverter.
