Battery Inverters
Battery-specific inverters manage a battery bank's charging and discharging. Their job, like that of other inverters, is to convert DC electricity into AC electricity, but they also do the opposite, converting AC electricity into DC to charge a battery bank. Battery inverters can be installed in homes that do not have a solar PV system for the purpose of energy arbitration (i.e., using cheap off-peak grid electricity to charge batteries), but most homes will install them to capture and store excess solar energy. Because they are modular, they can be easily retrofitted onto existing solar PV systems.
Pros:
The modular nature of the system allows for greater system design flexibility.
Because of their long history of use in off-grid and stand-alone power systems, most units are exceptionally sturdy and durable, and they can be retrofitted onto existing solar PV systems to add battery storage.
Cons:
Expansion of the PV system or battery bank may necessitate inverter resizing
Minimum system size requirements
After microinverters, off-grid inverters are the most expensive option.
A solar PV inverter's primary function is to convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC).
PID has been a source of concern for the solar industry since its inception.
In the context of residential solar+storage systems, a hybrid inverter (also known as a multi-mode inverter) is an inverter that can manage inputs from both solar panels and a battery bank at the same time, charging batteries using either solar panels or
