An inverter converts the direct current from the battery into the alternating current for feeding the grid.
Every hybrid motor needs an inverter, and the key component inside inverters is the integrated gate bipolar transistor, or IGBT.
The SP package is equipped with a high-capacity drive inverter and twin 10-kilowatt-hour charging inverters for rapid recharge (about four hours).
With front and rear 12-volt power points standard, a built-in 115-volt AC inverter is available to power a TV or appliances.
Order visibility for equipment makers is thus diluted further despite the improved outlook for inverter makers amid the China PV installation boom.
They also look at the panel and inverter manufacturers and their creditworthiness.
The energy generated is fed straight into the club's electricity control cabinet where a grid-tie inverter pumps energy back on to the grid.
The photovoltaic panels generate electricity when exposed to sunlight and are connected to the building's power supply via an inverter synchronised to the electricity main's frequency.
Enphase makes a special type of inverter called microinverters, which are smaller, more efficient and eventually, Enphase hopes cheaper to make than larger traditional inverters.
Between the improved conversion efficiencies, manufacturing gains, decreased inverter costs and improvements in other balance of system (BOS) costs, there is still room for substantial price improvement.

But the quiet manufacturer behind a growing number of solar, smart grid and solar inverter companies is Flextronics, the same company that makes Blackberrys, the Redbox DVD rental kiosks and desktop computers for Lenovo, to name just a few of its customers.
Despite all the talk of grid-based energy storage, the least expensive solution to the variability of wind and solar power is geographic dispersion, according to Leo Casey, Chief Technology Officer of Boston-based inverter company Satcon Technology, (NASD:SATC) speaking at the Building Energy 11 conference in Boston on March 9th.
Of course, leaving a smartphone's display on for multiple hours as you traverse Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and California isn't wise without a power source to sustain that type of abuse, so it's worth mentioning that I traveled with an AC inverter in order to keep a constant power connection to the Lumia 900.
