Types of Solar Inverter

Solar Inverter

• It is an electrical energy converter that changes direct current of input into alternating current at the output. 
• In this article, different types of solar inverter terminologies are given.

Different Types of Solar Inverter

Current Control Inverter

• It is an inverter in which output electric current having a specific sinusoidal waveform produced by pulse width modulation control or any other control system.

Current Stiff Inverter

• It is an inverter in which smooth DC input electric current.

Grid Connected Inverter

• Inverter which is able to operated in parallel with the distribution or transmission system of an electrical supply utility. 
• It is also known as grid tied inverter or grid intertie.

Grid Interactive Inverter

• Inverter which is able to operate in both stand alone and parallel modes.

High Frequency Link Inverter

• Inverter in which high frequency transformer is used for electrical isolation between inverter input and output.

Module Inverter

• Inverter which is integrated to the output of a single PV module

Non – Islanding Inverter

• Inverter which stops to energize an electrical distribution system during abnormal operating specifications for voltage and / or frequency.

Standalone Inverter

• Inverter which supplies a load not connected to the distribution system or transmission system of an electrical supply utility. 
• It is also known as battery powered inverter.

String Inverter

• Inverter which is designed to operated with a single PV string

Transformer Less Inverter

• Inverter without any isolation transformer

Voltage Control Inverter

• It is an inverter in which output electric voltage having a specific sinusoidal waveform produced by pulse width modulation control or any other control system.
