What is a grid tie inverter?

A grid tie inverter is a type of inverter used in large-scale photovoltaic power stations. It is used to convert the DC power generated from solar panels into AC power that can be fed back into the electrical grid. Many parallel photovoltaic strings are connected to the DC input end of the same centralized inverter, typically using 3 phase IGBT power modules with high power.

What is a grid-tied inverter system?

A “grid-tied” inverter system is one where the inverter is linked to the main electricity feed into the premises, and is thus dependent on the main electricity grid in order to function. The advantage of this type of system is that you save money by using solar power to generate the bulk of your electricity, which then lowers electricity costs.
