By the 1920s and 1930s, technology had advanced, and engineers began creating more efficient and compact electronic devices for converting DC to AC, mainly for industries and electric railways. However, it would take decades for inverters to become part of the solar power industry.
Inverters are a crucial part of any solar power system, responsible for converting the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into the alternating current (AC) that powers our homes and appliances. Although they often operate quietly in the background, inverters have been central to the evolution of solar energy systems.
Early Mechanical Inverters: The first inverters were mechanical devices, often using rotary converters to change DC to AC. These were noisy, inefficient, and prone to wear and tear. Solid-State Inverters: With the advent of solid-state electronics in the mid-20th century, inverters became more reliable and efficient.
During this time, several companies pioneered grid-tied inverter technology: SMA Solar Technology (Germany): Founded in 1981, SMA became one of the first major manufacturers of grid-tied inverters. Their work in the 1990s and early 2000s set the standard for residential and commercial inverters, and their inverters remain widely used worldwide.
Our home solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment in Polish conditions. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control with remote management capabilities.
