Advantages of single-phase series inverters
Single Phase String Inverters has been a highly popular choice for decades, and they are still one of the most popular choices today. But there is a new model on the market that offers significant cost savings and reliability that make them a great value for the money.
A single phase inverter operates almost identically to a 12 volt car battery. It takes power from an electric current and converts it to DC current, which is then sent to an electrical panel. The end result is that the stored energy is available to you whenever you need it. The primary benefit of a single phase inverter is the money saved over the life of the unit. Using just one unit instead of two or more will drastically reduce your monthly electricity bill.
A three phase inverter is slightly more expensive than a single phase unit, but it allows the same amount of power to be stored. This means that the unit will run continuously even if there is no sunlight available, provided the batteries are charged up. A drawback is that the inverter has to run at full output in order to maintain its charge, and may suffer from overheating if there is not enough sun available. Another drawback is that the inverter runs at full output even if there is no current coming in, potentially causing damage to your appliances.
The advantages of the single phase string inverter are that it is smaller and easier to install than its three phase counterpart. And due to the fact that it works so hard, it is also more environmentally friendly than a typical run-of-the-mill unit. There are fewer parts to break when changing a battery, so they tend to last longer. Since the inverter takes the power first from the batteries and charges them up before feeding them into the main circuit, this also means that there are fewer parts that can become damaged easily.
Installing a single phase string inverter is actually quite simple. It is often just as easy as disconnecting the wires from the wall, pulling out the old battery and connecting the new one. The new battery should be purchased for the size of system that you will need. Once the connection is made, simply attach the wires back to the wall and you are done.
Now, this solution works well for backup purposes only. If you are interested in eliminating your need for electricity during extreme weather conditions, then this option will not do much good for you. However, a single phase string inverter is great if you live in a mild climate where your power is not needed all that often. In fact, this type of inverter is often only needed during severe weather events when the power grid is down.
It is important to note that there are different single phase string inverters that work in slightly different ways. The best thing to do when shopping for one is to shop around. Many local dealers stock this type of equipment and most have a very large selection to choose from. As far as prices go, they vary greatly. Generally, the cost of these units is in line with the size of the battery being used, but it will depend on the specific manufacturer. The best idea is to figure out how much power your system needs before you buy anything.
The installation process of single phase string inverters is fairly simple. Once the wires are connected and the battery is charged the inverter can be connected to the power source with wiring. It is then ready to start working immediately. A small amount of time should be allowed for the battery to discharge before the actual start up begins. This is usually something that can be done in just a few short minutes.
