A solar inverter is a device that converts the direct current (DC) energy generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) energy. Here is how it works:

1. Solar panels convert sunlight into DC energy.
2. The DC energy enters the solar inverter through its input.
3. The inverter converts the DC energy into AC energy.
4. The converted AC energy is then supplied to the power grid or used directly to power electrical devices.

Solar inverters enable the utilization and application of solar energy by converting the DC energy generated by solar panels into AC energy, allowing it to be connected to the power grid or used directly to power electrical devices.
