When it comes to powering your home with solar, a quality inverter is critical to unlock the full potential of your solar system. At Macarthur Solar, we’ve seen the difference the right inverter can make. Traditional string systems often experience voltage drops, causing a dip in overall performance and limiting the system’s power output and savings potential. This is where the SolarEdge Home Inverter steps in, transforming the way energy is managed and stored to ensure consistent, reliable power.
The inverter is the heart of a solar energy system, converting DC (direct current) power produced by solar panels into AC (alternating current) power used by your home. With a traditional string inverter, energy flow is often limited by fluctuations in voltage, causing dips in power supply and reduced efficiency. These voltage drops directly impact performance, reducing the energy your panels can supply to your home and increasing your reliance on the grid.
In a recent installation, our team demonstrated the difference. Seeing the voltage graphs of a traditional string system, it’s clear that drops in voltage lead to inefficiencies that leave power and savings on the table.
The SolarEdge Home Inverter eliminates these issues by maintaining stable voltage across your entire system. Unlike string inverters, SolarEdge technology connects each panel to an optimiser, allowing the inverter to monitor and adjust the output of each panel individually. This communication keeps voltage stable and maximises efficiency, meaning every panel operates at peak performance regardless of external factors like shading or soiling.
With the SolarEdge Home Inverter installed, homeowners enjoy uninterrupted, stable voltage throughout the day, translating to more consistent power and bigger savings.
The SolarEdge inverter doesn’t just ensure optimal energy flow—it also allows you to monitor your system’s performance in real time. Through advanced monitoring software, you can view data on each panel’s energy production, track voltage levels, and even detect any issues early on. A stable voltage doesn’t only mean more power; it also translates into more significant savings by allowing every watt generated to be used efficiently, rather than lost to fluctuations.
