An inverter is a device that is used to convert DC electricity generated by your solar panels into usable AC electricity to use in the home or to be sent to the national grid.
The Wondrwall Inverter
The Wondrwall inverter offers two distinct options to suit your energy needs:
String Inverter
This type of inverter efficiently converts the energy produced by your solar panels into usable electricity for your home.
If you generate more energy than you need, you have the opportunity to send that excess energy back to the grid, allowing you to benefit from an export tariff (learn more about export tariffs here).
Hybrid Inverter
Similar to the string inverter in its primary function of converting solar energy into usable electricity, the hybrid inverter introduces additional capabilities. It can be paired with a battery to store energy, whether sourced from your solar panels or the grid.
This flexibility empowers you to make strategic decisions about when to consume or sell energy back to the grid, enabling you to capitalise on various Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs available (discover more about TOU tariffs here).
What are the advantages of solar energy with Wondrwall?
-
Solar panels serve as a self-sufficient source of electricity, reducing your dependence on the grid for energy. They harness solar energy, a clean alternative that does not produce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, unlike traditional fossil fuel power stations.
-
Solar panels have no moving parts, which contributes to their longevity compared to other renewable energy sources, such as wind power.
-
The Wondrwall solar panels feature an aesthetically pleasing in-roof mounting system that integrates seamlessly with your roof, unlike older on-roof models that protrude above the tiles. This design not only enhances the visual appeal of your home but also ensures optimal functionality.
-
Within a Wondrwall home, solar energy works in harmony with the entire system, allowing you to either store energy in a battery or utilise it directly to power your all-electric home through self-consumption.
-
Any surplus solar power generated can be sold back to the national grid, creating an additional revenue stream for homeowners while contributing to the decarbonisation of the energy grid. This collective effort promotes a shift towards a reduced reliance on fossil fuels as our primary energy source.
