The working principle and characteristics of solar inverter

2022-03-31
The core of the solar inverter device is the inverter switch circuit, referred to as the inverter circuit. The circuit completes the inverter function by turning on and off the power electronic switch. The following solar inverter manufacturers will introduce the characteristics in detail:

(1) High efficiency is required.

Due to the high price of solar cells at present, in order to maximize the utilization of solar cells and improve the efficiency of the system, we must try to improve the efficiency of the inverter.

(2) High reliability is required.

At present, the photovoltaic power station system is mainly used in remote areas, and many power stations are unattended and maintained, which requires the inverter to have a reasonable circuit structure, strict component selection, and requires the inverter to have various protection functions, such as: input DC polarity reverse protection, AC output short circuit protection, overheating, overload protection, etc.

(3) The input voltage is required to have a wider range of adaptation.

Because the terminal voltage of the solar cell varies with the load and the sunlight intensity. Especially when the battery is aging, its terminal voltage varies widely. For example, for a 12V battery, its terminal voltage may vary between 10V and 16V, which requires the inverter to ensure normal operation within a large DC input voltage range.
