Most solar PV systems will include at least one inverter for multiple solar panels. An inverter has several purposes. These major purposes include converting DC power to AC power as well as controlling the voltage, sine curves and number of AC cycles so they are compatible with the building’s more sensitive electronics. Solar PV panels generally produce DC current while buildings (and equipment) in the U.S. typically use AC current, so the inverter and related equipment convert the DC current so it can be used. Also, solar panels produce energy that fluctuates based on the sunlight available, the efficiency of the panel and other factors. Inverters help to manage and stabilize these fluctuations.
