So, make sure your inverter can handle the voltage range of your specific lithium battery. Another important aspect is the charging current capacity of the inverter. Since lithium batteries require a higher charging current than other types, you need an inverter that can provide enough power for efficient and effective charging.
If you are retrofitting a battery and want bags of battery power available to export because you believe it is your duty to support the grid, then a three-phase battery inverter is for you (e.g. configuration 9). Or if it all looks a bit too much, simply engage an experienced solar+battery installer, who can decide the best design for you.
An inverter is the device responsible for converting the direct current (DC) power generated by sources like solar panels into alternating current (AC) power — suitable for use in homes, businesses, and industrial applications. A three-phase inverter distinguishes itself by transforming DC power into three separate AC waveforms.
When it comes to powering your inverter, there are a few alternative options to consider aside from lithium batteries. While lithium batteries have gained popularity due to their numerous advantages, they may not be the right choice for everyone. One alternative option is lead-acid batteries.
Let’s start with inverters. An inverter is essentially a device that converts DC (direct current) power into AC (alternating current) power, allowing you to use your electronic devices when there is no grid electricity available. Now let’s talk about batteries.
A 3-phase hybrid inverter will convert the DC power output of both your solar panels and your battery to 3-phase AC power. The three-phase hybrid inverter will monitor your solar electricity production and household consumption across all three-phases using little meters called Current Transformers (CTs), which are the green things on the diagram.
