For Outback Power inverters, click the Outback Power section button on the left

An inverter changes DC voltage to standard AC voltage. Battery powered inverters are available for 12, 24, 32 (special order), and 48 volts DC.

Grid tie inverters convert the DC voltage from the solar panels directly into standard AC voltage and feed into your house power, without the use of batteries. Some "hybrid" type battery operated inverters can also tie to the grid to feed back any extra power, or for backup power.
