Solar inverter connected to household electricity

How does a solar inverter work?

Central to these systems is the inverter, a device that plays an essential role in transforming the energy generated by your solar panels into usable electricity for your home. Knowing how to connect the inverter to the house network is a key step in any solar setup.

What is a solar inverter?

An inverter is an essential component in any solar power system. Solar panels generate electricity in the form of direct current (DC). This is the initial type of electrical output produced when sunlight interacts with the photovoltaic cells in the panels. However, most homes and electrical appliances operate on alternating current (AC), not DC.

How do I connect my solar inverter to my home network?

Use proper cable glands and conduits to protect the wires from physical damage and adverse weather conditions. In the case of the Anker SOLIX Balcony Solar Power System, connecting the inverter to your home network is a straightforward process that involves the use of a Schuko connection cable.

Can a solar inverter be connected to a balcony power plant?

Yes, the inverter of a balcony power plant, also known as a “plug-and-play” solar system, can be legally and safely connected to your home network. These systems typically include one or two small solar panels and a micro inverter that can directly plug into a standard household electrical outlet.
