Solar inverters convert DC or direct currents out of a solar panel into a utility usable or alternating current. To gain the power you need for your home, a DC-AC conversion must take place. Solar inverters are necessary to the practical application of solar systems. They are many different off the grid and grid tie […]

In recent years, Solar power has become exclusively modular which is great news for would be system owners. In the old days, you needed to buy not just solar panels but batteries too. This significantly raised the cost of your most basic systems. Grid-tied inverters are the unit of equipment that makes installing a solar […]
ABB solar inverters are being used on Amcorp Power Sdn Bhd’s Gemas 10.25 Megawatt (MW) PV plant in Malaysia – it is the country’s biggest solar power station. In a location approximately 160 km from Kuala Lumpur, the solar plant supplies nearly 11% of Malaysia’s installed capacity of 116 mWs of grid-tied photovoltaic (PV). ABB has supplied some of their their three-phase inverters, the TRIO-27.6 solar […]
