A solar inverter, or converter or PV inverter, converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network. It is a critical balance of system (BOS)–component in a photovoltaic system, allowing the use of ordinary AC-powered equipment. Solar power inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays, including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection.nt tracking and anti-islanding protection.

The inverters are used in photovoltaic off-grid (stand alone) for powering electric remote houses, mountain chalets, monile homes, boats an are also used in grid-connected photovoltaic systems to enter the current produced by the plant directly into the power grid distribution.directly into the power grid distribution.
, 3. Inverter are the brains of the system. The main task of the inverter is to convert the DC power generated by the solar system into usable alternating current power.
, Inverter enable the monitoring and the provision of diagnostic information.
