Will inverter-forming inverters make Australia a more sustainable electricity system?

As Australia’s electricity system switches to higher rates of inverter-based generation such as wind and solar, new ways of delivering system services are needed to keep the grid stable. Grid-forming inverters are one of the missing pieces of the puzzle that will help to support the transition to 100% renewables.

Do solar panels need a grid tie inverter?

Grid connected solar systems need grid tie inverters. These are special solar inverters that will synchronise with the electricity grid. They produce grid compatible 240V AC (sinewave) electricity from the DC voltage that your panels produce. The electricity from a grid tie inverter is indistinguishable from the grid’s electricity.
