4 FAQs about Sine Electric s layout of solar inverters

What is a pure sine wave inverter?

Modern pure sine wave inverters are sophisticated electronic devices that play a crucial role in any solar power system. Their output power is much higher quality than modified sine wave inverters. The basic function of an inverter is to convert DC power output from the solar array into AC power output that we can use in our homes and businesses.

Can a pure sine wave inverter be used with a solar panel?

Pure sine wave inverters can be efficiently combined with solar panels to ensure compatibility and efficiency in the energy conversion process, providing a more stable and reliable power output.

What is a modified sine wave inverter?

Modified sine wave inverters use simpler and cheaper electronics to produce a wave that is not quite a smooth sine wave. Pure sine wave inverters use more expensive electronics to generate a wave that is very close to a pure sine wave. The figure below compares outputs from a modified sine waver inverter and a pure sine wave inverter.

What type of inverter is used to produce a sine wave?

Combination of pulses of different length and voltage results in a multi-stepped modified square wave, which closely matches the sine wave shape. The low frequency inverters typically operate at ~60 Hz frequency. To produce a sine wave output, high-frequency inverters are used.
