Sometimes mistakenly called a converter solar panel inverters deal less with voltage level and more with current type switching power from dc to alternating current ac what most home appliances use to function. When your panels produce energy it all gets sent to a single inverter which is usually located on the side of your home in a garage or in your basement. Multiple strings are connected to one string inverter.

It sends power into the home to run appliances and turns back the meter with excess energy. Most appliances lighting and household electronics use the alternating current hence the conversion need. In a solar pv system with a string inverter each panel is wired together into a string and multiple strings normally up to three can be connected to your central inverter.
