[Music] hey everyone Kelly here from signature solar today we're here to answer some of the most common questions about solar inverters we're excited to help you understand how these essential components work and how they fit into planning designing and setting up your solar power system to benefit you let's Dive Right In first up what does a solar inverter do a solar inverter is a crucial component in your solar power system its main job is to convert the direct DC electricity generated by your solar panels into alternating current or AC electricity which is what most home appliances use without an inverter you wouldn't be able to use the power from your solar panels to run your household devices but that's not all it also works with battery storage systems converting DC power from your batteries into AC power this way you can use stored energy from your batteries whenever you need it even when the sun isn't shining as signature solar we offer a range of inverters from top brands like eg4 growatt Schnider victron and others these inverters come in various sizes and capabilities catering to different energy requirements and preferences ensuring we have the perfect solution to fit all your needs in fact many of our common questions can be answered using a previous video we put out where we introduced the eg4 18K PV all-in-one hybrid inverter this brings us to a question we often get can a solar inverter power a house definitely a solar inverter is crucial for converting the energy your panels collect into usable electricity for all your home needs from lighting to running your fridge and more with the right setup and enough solar panels your inverter can power your entire house plus with the addition of battery storage your inverter ensures you have power even during cloudy days or at night now let's take a closer look at how the 18K inverter excels in this role now of this impressive ability to utilize 18,000 Watts this inverter is able to ensure you have a whopping 12 KW of uninterrupted continuous power to fuel your home Workshop or any other solar project you have in mind with a 120 240 volt split phase output you can power essential appliances and systems without a hitch 18,000 watts of working capacity and 200 amp pass through capability opens up a world of possibilities enabling you to power your entire home while providing backup support for critical loads IM imagine the flexibility 12 KW of AC output let you power your loads seamlessly sell excess energy back to the Grid or do both simultaneously what's more the additional 6 Kow not being utilized to power your loads allows you to efficiently charge your batteries at the same time as powering your space this inverter is truly amazing in its ability to power your loads including a washer and dryer oven and air conditioner all at the same time check out Mason's load test video Linked In the description below for the full home load test we're going to be testing out the vanity lights a microwave a television with our system on it a Clos dryer and then a lot of people want to know if they can be run in an inductive load and still have their air conditioning come on so we're going to be running a 4 tonon air conditioning unit with a sure start let's go ahead and get started okay our first Appliance will crank up will be this microwave for the full home load test go ahead and hit start excuse me go ahead and start that up all right next we'll go and turn on our clothes dryer this is a 5 kilowatt load go ahead and crank that [Music] sorry now we have our Clos dryer running as well so we have our lights microwave TV and Clos dryer now for the big test the 4ton air conditioning go ahead and flip this breaker we've got our fan turning we've got the air conditioning fired up right so we have uh a normal Home Appliance load right inductive load you're doing laundry it's the middle of the summer your air conditioning turns on you're completely covered should you leave your solar inverter on all the time yes you should solar inverters are designed to operate continuously they manage the energy flow from your panels and your batteries to your home and to the grid ensuring Optimal Performance and safety turning your inverter off can disrupt this process and might even cause issues with your system's efficiency now let's see how the 18K inverter excels in maintaining seamless power and delivery when left on and alone to work for you when the lights go out the 18K has the ability to be your backup power system with a seamless switching 10 millisecond transfer time so quickly you won't even notice what happened you're covered rain or shine this inverter even possesses the amazing feature of being dark start ready should your batteries be completely drained the inverter will allow your PV input to begin charging your batteries back up as soon as the sunlight activates your PV system again do solar inverters consume power when they're not actively in use they do but it's a very minimal amount inverters need to stay operational and ready to convert energy whether it's from the Sun during the day or from your stored battery energy this standby consumption is quite low and doesn't significantly affect your overall energy usage or Savings in fact let's take a look at how the 18 K's benefits far outweigh is standby power consumption so whether you're running entirely Off the Grid using grid electricity or selling power back to the grid the 18K has you covered with an amazing 10-year warranty quiet operation and very little idle consumption of only 70 Watts this unit is enticing don't forget about its mountable Wi-Fi device 4G dongles or cellular connectivity and WL direct wires allowing you to seamlessly Monitor and manage your system through the app or by tapping into the eg4 web servers which are based right here in the United States and remember whether you're considering solar power battery storage or completely going off grid the 18K has the power versatility and reliability to make it happen do all solar systems need an inverter yes pretty much all Solar Power Systems require an inverter whether you have a grid tide system a hybrid system or even an off- grid setup an inverter is essential to convert the DC power from your solar panels and batteries into AC power that you can use in your home it's the heart of your solar system making sure that the energy harnessed by your panels and stored in your batteries is actually usable not sure which kind of inverter to choose check out our previous video Linked In the description choose the right inverter for your energy needs where we walk you through an in-depth comparison to help you understand what each system can do
