What is an Inverter/Charger?

The term “Inverter/Charger” or “Combined Inverter Charger” refers to a device used in solar energy systems that integrates the functions of a solar charge controller and an inverter into a single unit. This unit is capable of both converting DC to AC and AC to DC. The combination of these functions is typically more cost-effective, efficient, and easier to install, commission, and maintain.

Inverter/charger: Combining Inverter and Controller

In situations where there is limited solar radiation or unreliable grid power, an Inverter/Charger is an excellent option because it automatically switches between available sources such as solar panels, external power generators, and battery-stored energy to provide uninterrupted power output for consumers.
Furthermore, a combined charger inverter provides not only smart switching but also intelligent modes to optimize energy consumption and generation cycles and determine the energy budget balance.

Having the ability to work with external AC sources is a benefit of the Inverter/Charger. In situations where solar energy or stored energy is limited, the device can automatically activate an external power generator to charge the batteries or supply power to consumers. This feature helps to extend the life of the batteries and reduce gasoline expenses.

Ease of installation, commissioning, and monitoring

Hybrid inverter chargers are designed to offer ease of installation, commissioning, and monitoring. The built-in connections between the battery and other components within the system mean fewer bus bars, wiring, and protective elements are necessary compared to separate installations of an inverter or charge controller. This simplifies the installation process and enhances overall performance.

Thoughtfully designed circuit of an inverter/charger

The hybrid inverter charger is a unique solution that provides a comprehensive display of both the inverter and the charge controller parameters through an LCD screen. This feature enables users to access all necessary information in a condensed format. Additionally, the system offers real-time status updates through multiple LED indicators. The user-friendly interface of the device allows for customization of the system’s settings to meet the specific requirements of any project through mobile and PC applications. With the availability of parameters and configurations through Modbus protocol, the hybrid inverter charger can easily integrate with any local monitoring station or SCADA system.
