| Solar Inverters |
A conversion device that uses all of the available DC (direct current like a car battery or torch) power to make AC (Alternating current) power.
The AC power is matched to the electricity grid so the quality is exactly the same as the your current power supply. This power is fed into the building switchboard where it flows into local loads, like the fridge or out into the grid for Synergy to sell to other consumers.
If you sell your power to Synergy then you may be eligible for the State Government net feed in tariff as well as Synergy's Renewable Energy Buyback scheme.

These convert light into DC power. It does this when light hits the active material in a silicon cell. This frees an electron which causes current to flow to the inverter.
Solar modules are grouped together to make a solar array which increases voltage as most inverters run on a higher DC voltage for higher efficiency. The exact configuration of the solar array is determined by the input voltage range of the inverter and takes into account the array output voltage at very low and very high temperatures.
