What is a pure sine wave inverter?

It is for these reasons that a pure sine wave inverter is one of (if not the) most important aspects of your solar array. A sine inverter takes the DC output of your solar array, converts it to AC, and does so in a way which replicates as closely as possible the pure sine wave of grid power alternating current.

How does a sine inverter work?

A sine inverter takes the DC output of your solar array, converts it to AC, and does so in a way which replicates as closely as possible the pure sine wave of grid power alternating current. Moreover, pure sine wave inverters amplify the converted current to differing strengths of wattage and voltage.

Why do you need a sine wave inverter?

Most appliances in your home use AC power, so you need it to convert the DC power that solar panels produce to AC power. It also brings up the voltage to the grid level. A pure sine wave inverter also saves you money, as it’s much more efficient than the older, jagged wave inverters.

Should I buy a modified sine wave inverter?

When it comes to solar array inverters, you do not want to buy a modified sine wave inverter. Contrary to pure sine wave inverters, modified sine wave inverters only attempt to mimic a sine wave, which can result in regular and bad disruptions to the grid and to your experience.

What is the best sine wave inverter?

This 600 watt pure sine wave inverter from GoWISE is one of the more affordable inverters on the market, and designed for use with smaller appliances. With a one year warranty, and the versatility afforded by its 3 AC output sockets (2 regular, 1 USB), it looks to be a pretty promising little unit.

Are there any problems with a pure sine wave inverter?

Some of the only issues reported with this pure sine wave inverter is that the 2 year warranty advertised is in fact only 1 year, and that it comes with a ‘reset’ button only (instead of an ON/OFF button or remote controller), meaning you have to travel to the unit to turn it back on every time it shuts down.
