The inverter turns the dc power from your solar wind or hydropower source into ac power that your appliances can use.
Connecting inverter directly to solar panel.
Working with dc current is slightly different than ac current as far as the wiring is concerned.
Calculate the wire size.
The wires from the solar panels will be presented with dc power in mind as will the end of the inverter where the wires have to be connected.
Solar energy is as well used to heat.
Connect the panels of a solar bank together if there are more than one.
Step 2 connecting to the inverter box.
Instead of plugging in a few devices to the renewable source you will be adding your green energy to your grid.
They are usually wired in parallel to preserve the voltage of.
Solar energy is gaining popularity at an alarming rate.
Connect the hot wires red or black to the selected breaker on the back side of the circuit breaker panel.
Be it as the main source of energy or as a back up to the popular power outages experienced on main grid power supplies.
Strip 1 2 inch of insulation from the ends of the wires leading from the inverter to the breaker.
There are two ways to use solar without batteries.
The inverter converts the dc output of the solar panels to ac electricity that is synchronized to the grid.
We will learn how to connect solar panels to battery through an inverter to output ac current.
Connecting the inverter to the breaker panel is the most convenient way to use your renewable energy.
Use a screwdriver to connect the white wire to the neutral ground bar on the circuit breaker.
