The difference between three-phase inverter and string

What is a three-phase string inverter system?

Three-phase string inverter systems convert the DC power generated by the photovoltaic (PV) panel arrays into the AC power fed into a 380 V or higher three-phase grid connection.

What is the difference between a single phase and a three phase inverter?

Single-phase inverters convert DC input into single-phase output. The output consists of one phase (A- N, B- N, or C- N), formed by one live and one neutral conductor, with a standard voltage of 220 V — mainly for residential use. Three-phase inverters convert DC power into three-phase supply, generating three equally spaced AC phases.

Do you need a 3 phase inverter?

If your home is equipped with a three-phase power supply, you have more options. You can either opt for a single phase inverter or a three-phase inverter. The advantage of using a three-phase inverter is that it can distribute the generated solar power evenly across the three phases.

What is the output voltage of a 3 phase inverter?

Output voltages include 380 V (400 V), 480 V, 800 V, etc., suitable for three-phase circuits (A/B/C or L1/L2/L3). A single-phase inverter typically has a lower rated output power, generally below 10 kW. Three-phase inverters have much broader power ranges—from as low as 5 kW to several hundred kW.
