What is a Solar Inverter?

A solar panel inverter converts the direct current (DC) that your solar panels generate into alternating current (AC) to power your home. Solar inverters are similar to a translator. It translates solar energy into the type of electricity that can be used by your home. Solar inverters are installed with your solar energy system.

The Generac inverters we install communicate with your solar panels via PV Links. Those PV Links allow your panels to communicate with each other and deliver the maximum power under all conditions. If one of your panels is experiencing an issue such as shading, the PV Links allow the rest of your panels to still perform at the highest level.
