Inverter systems - the heart of your solar power plant

SMA Inverter Technology +++ Inverter +++ Inverter Technology

The solar array converts sunlight into direct current (DC) that has to be transformed into alternating current (AC) before it can be used in your household or fed into the utility grid.

This transformation happens at the very core of your solar power plant - the inverter. It is important that the output of the inverter exactly matches the power frequency and voltage of the utility grid, therefore those parameters are constantly and automatically monitored and adjusted by the device. The optimum performance of the inverter is crucial for the overall efficiency of your photovoltaic system.

Depending on system topology, more than one inverter can be used. Another important point is the operational reliability, since the failure of a major component like the inverter can cause significant losses in yield. Therefore our inverters can be fitted with a comprehensive set of safety and control features so that all relevant data can be logged for later analysis. In the unlikely event of a failure, the sophisticated control circuitry automatically assigns a working device to the functions of the damaged one. Again, this minimizes the impact of a technical problem on overall system efficiency.
