Inverters and converters

The solar inverter is the central component of a photovoltaic system: it converts the direct current (DC) produced by the panels into alternating current (AC) that can be used at 230V (and, depending on the installation, fed into the grid). In this category, you will find solutions suitable forself-consumption, battery storage and off-grid projects: inverters, converters, micro-inverters and accessories.

To make the right choice, identify your needs:

Production and injection/consumption

Grid-connected inverter

Battery management + self-consumption

Hybrid inverter

Panel-by-panel optimisation

Micro-inverter

DC/AC conversion in stand-alone mode

230V converter

Also check the power (W/kVA), single-phase or three-phase, and battery compatibility (e.g. 12V/24V/48V).

Choose in 30 seconds

  • Grid: for self-consumption/feed-in with solar panels.
  • Hybrid: if you plan to use a battery (storage, optimisation, possibly backup).
  • Micro-inverter: ideal if there is shade, multiple orientations, optimisation per panel.
  • Converter: to convert DC to AC according to your needs (mobile/remote site/specific installations).

FAQ - Solar inverters & converters

1. What is a solar inverter used for? +
It converts the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) at 230V, and depending on the system, it can be fed into the grid.
2. What’s the difference between a grid-tie inverter and a hybrid inverter? +
A grid-tie inverter is designed for injection/self-consumption without a battery. A hybrid inverter also manages a battery to store energy.
3. Why choose microinverters? +
They optimize production panel by panel: useful in case of partial shading, different orientations, and for individual monitoring.
4. What is a 230V (DC/AC) converter used for? +
It converts DC (batteries/off-grid system) into 230V AC to power appliances, especially for off-grid or standalone use.
5. What should I check before buying? +
Power rating (W/kVA), single-phase or three-phase, number of MPPTs, and compatibilities (12/24/48V batteries depending on systems and needs).
