Just like a solar power inverter for residential use, a solar inverter for residential use also focuses on changing the DC output from residential solar panels into a usable AC power. It is made to interface with commonly used household electrical systems and devices. Home solar inverters come in different types: string inverters, which connect several solar panels in series, and micro-inverters, which are mounted at the individual panel level. For large arrays, string inverters tend to be the more economical choice, while micro-inverters provide better performance in shaded or mismatched panel situations. This flexibility allows homeowners to choose based on their particular installation needs.
