Inverter & battery
An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), which is used by most household appliances. It allows you to use electricity stored in batteries or generated by solar panels in a form that is compatible with home devices.
A battery stores electrical energy for later use. In the context of renewable energy, batteries are used to store excess energy produced by solar panels or wind turbines, which can then be used when energy demand is higher or when sunlight/wind is not available. Together, inverters and batteries are essential components in off-grid power systems and renewable energy setups.
- Inverter: Converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) for household appliances.
- Battery: Stores electrical energy for later use, often in renewable energy systems.
- Energy Independence: Allows use of solar or wind energy even when it's not being generated.
