Solar inverter sine wave

Is a sine wave inverter right for your solar system?

If your solar setup includes sensitive electronics, energy-efficient appliances, or you simply want the peace of mind that comes with stable power, a pure sine wave inverter is the smart, future-proof choice.

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 sine wave inverter save you money?

Business Losses: A 2023 NREL study found that solar-powered cafes using pure sine wave inverters reduced equipment downtime by 75%, protecting over $15,000 in annual revenue. Solar System Gains: Pure sine wave inverters increase solar panel efficiency by 10-12%, adding $210/year in energy value for a 5kW system.

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.
