Introduction to Residential Solar Inverters

As solar energy becomes a preferred choice for homeowners seeking sustainable and cost-effective power solutions, residential solar inverters play a pivotal role in turning clean energy into usable electricity. Acting as the heart of any solar energy system, inverters are essential for converting the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC), the form of electricity used to power homes and appliances.

​

Residential solar inverters are not just about energy conversion; they also optimize performance, monitor system health, and ensure efficiency across the board. Modern inverters come with advanced technology, enabling real-time monitoring, smart energy management, and seamless integration with storage solutions like batteries and smart grids. From string inverters and microinverters to hybrid and power optimizers, homeowners have access to a variety of solutions tailored to their energy needs and budgets.

​

Choosing the right solar inverter is crucial for maximizing energy production, minimizing costs, and ensuring a seamless transition to renewable energy. Whether you're upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, understanding the benefits and functionality of solar inverters will empower you to make informed decisions that pave the way for a greener, more energy-efficient future.

​

At TIER 1 Solar Solutions, we provide top-of-the-line residential solar inverters designed for durability, high performance, and unmatched reliability. Backed by cutting-edge technology and exceptional customer support, our solutions ensure you get the most out of your solar investment while contributing to a sustainable tomorrow.

SolarEdge Home Wave Inverters

The SolarEdge single phase inverter with Home Wave technology breaks the mold of traditional solar inverters. Winner of the prestigious 2016 Intersolar Award and the renowned 2018 Edison Award, the single phase inverter is specifically designed to work with SolarEdge power optimizers. It comes with a built-in DC safety switch, integrated rapid shutdown, and features a standard 12-year warranty extendable to 20 or 25 years.

SolarEdge’s Innovative Inverter Topology

Because Maximum Power Point Tracking and voltage management are handled separately for each solar module by the SolarEdge power optimizer, the single phase inverter is only responsible for DC to AC inversion. Consequently, it is a simpler, more cost effective, more reliable solar inverter. The fixed string voltage ensures operation at the highest efficiency at all times independent of string length and temperature.

Home Wave Technology: A New Era for PV Inverters

SolarEdge’s latest generation of single phase inverters are designed using a novel power conversion technology that is based on a distributed switching and powerful DSP processing.
The inverter is able to synthesize a clean sine wave that leads to a dramatic reduction in the magnetics and heavy cooling elements.
The result is an even smaller and lighter inverter for simplified shipping and storing, and easy one-person installation. The record-breaking 99% efficiency allows more energy production for an improved ROI.

SolarEdge Home Inverters Now Available with Integrated Production and Consumption Monitoring

Only requiring the simple connection of two external SolarEdge CTs (sold separately) to enable consumption monitoring, giving homeowners clear insight into their energy usage.
