What is a residential battery inverter for SMA photovoltaic storage systems?

A residential battery inverter for SMA photovoltaic storage systems impresses users in many different ways. SMA supplies battery inverters for every conceivable application – be it for capping peak load, off-grid applications or ensuring grid stability.

What is a battery inverter?

A battery inverter, also known as a DC to AC inverter, converts the direct current (DC) stored in a battery into alternating current (AC), which is the type of current typically used in homes, businesses and industry. Battery inverters are therefore essential for making use of stored solar power.

Can a battery inverter be used in a single-phase PV system?

A single-phase battery inverter is only suited to small PV systems in single-family homes. This variant is only permitted for PV systems of up to 4.6 kilovolt-amperes (kVA). Three-phase battery inverters are mandatory for larger systems in excess of 4.6 kVA.

Why is a battery inverter important?

A battery inverter is essential in order to use the energy put into temporary storage in the battery or to feed energy into the utility grid because the energy in the battery exists in the form of direct current (DC). Yet, the utility grid and most consumers (electrical appliances, electrical machines) use alternating current (AC).
