- A typical solar system contains around 10 panels and generates direct current electricity (DC).
- As the electricity used for household appliances is alternating current (AC).
- An inverter is installed along with the system to converter DC electricity to AC.
- The electricity generated can be used throughout your home or business or exported to the grid.

They are a great addition to your solar panel installation, helping you make the most of the power you produce.
