Battery Inverter
A battery inverter is an electronic component used in photovoltaic systems with battery storage. Its function is to convert the direct current (DC) stored in a battery into alternating current (AC) commonly used in households.
Function:
- Solar power storage: The direct current generated by a photovoltaic system is first stored in a battery storage system.
- Conversion to alternating current: The battery inverter draws energy from the battery and converts it into alternating current.
- Feeding into the power grid: The generated alternating current can then either be used directly in the household or fed into the public power grid.
Purpose:
- Self-sufficiency: Battery inverters enable greater self-sufficiency with solar power, especially during periods when solar energy is not available (e.g., at night).
- Grid relief: By storing excess solar power, battery inverters can help relieve the power grid.
- Backup power supply: In conjunction with a suitable storage system, battery inverters can provide backup power during outages.
Types:
- AC-coupled inverters: These are the most common and are connected directly to the alternating current network.
- DC-coupled inverters: These are installed between the photovoltaic system and the battery storage.
Advantages:
- Flexibility: The stored energy can be used as needed.
- Cost-efficiency: Optimal use of self-generated electricity can reduce energy costs.
- Environmental friendliness: Using battery inverters helps reduce CO2 emissions.
Summary:
Battery inverters are a key component of modern photovoltaic systems. They enable efficient use of solar energy and contribute to the energy transition.
