With the rapid development of renewable energy technology, solar inverters, as the "heart" of photovoltaic systems, have a direct impact on energy conversion efficiency and system stability through technological iteration. As a company deeply involved in the field of energy storage batteries, GreenMore combines years of industry experience to analyze the technical principles, core advantages and application scenarios of high-frequency solar inverters, helping users build efficient and intelligent photovoltaic storage integrated systems. 1. Working principle of high frequency solar inverter High-frequency solar inverters use high-frequency DC/AC conversion technology, and its core process can be divided into three steps: Low-voltage DC boost: Through PWM (pulse width modulation) technology, the low-voltage DC power (such as 12V/24V) output by the solar panel is converted into high-frequency low-voltage AC power (frequency is usually above 20kHz). High-frequency transformer boost: High-frequency AC power is boosted to high-voltage DC above 300V by a high-frequency transformer, achieving miniaturization (traditional industrial frequency inverters require bulky 50Hz transformers). Inverter output: Through the precise control of IGBT fully controlled devices, high voltage DC is inverted into 220V/50Hz pure sine wave AC to meet the load requirements of household appliances, industrial equipment, etc. Compared with traditional industrial frequency inverters, the high-frequency design reduces the equipment volume by more than 50% and the weight by 40% through high-frequency switching devices and micro-transformers, making it particularly suitable for distributed photovoltaic scenarios with limited space. Core Features: No power frequency transformer design Small size and light weight High conversion efficiency Fast response speed and good dynamic performance 2. Advantages of high-frequency solar inverters High conversion efficiency Due to the use of advanced power electronics technology and optimized topology, the overall conversion efficiency of high-frequency inverters can usually reach more than 95%, which is much higher than that of traditional low-frequency inverters. This means less energy loss and higher power generation utilization. Small size, easy to install Since high-frequency inverters do not rely on bulky transformers, they are smaller and lighter overall, making them particularly suitable for home environments or distributed energy projects with limited space. Lower costs High-frequency inverters have relatively low manufacturing costs and are easy to mass-produce, so they are more price competitive in the market. Fast response and strong adaptability High-frequency inverters have faster load response capabilities and can quickly adapt to changes in light intensity and load fluctuations, improving system stability and reliability.   3. Typical application scenarios of high-frequency solar inverters Home photovoltaic energy storage system For ordinary household users, high-frequency inverters are very suitable for small rooftop photovoltaic systems with GreenMore's wall-mounted energy storage batteries or stacked energy storage batteries to achieve closed-loop energy management of self-generation, self-energy storage and self-use of electricity. Commercial distributed photovoltaic projects In small and medium-sized commercial photovoltaic projects such as office buildings and factory roofs, high-frequency inverters have become one of the mainstream choices due to their high efficiency, low cost and easy maintenance. Off-grid/hybrid system applications In conjunction with GreenMore's home energy storage system or commercial battery energy storage cabinet, high-frequency inverters can be used to build efficient and reliable off-grid or grid-connected hybrid energy systems to meet a variety of power supply needs. 4. High frequency vs low frequency inverter: How to choose? Feature High Frequency Inverter Low Frequency Inverter Conversion efficiency High (more than 95%) Lower (about 85%) Volumetric Weight Small and light Big and heavy Impact resistance Low High Cost Low High Applicable scenarios Household, small and medium business Industrial, high power, harsh environment As you can see, high-frequency inverters are more suitable for users who focus on efficiency, cost, and space utilization, while low-frequency inverters are suitable for industrial-grade scenarios that need to withstand high impact loads or operate for long periods of time. 5. Purchase Guide: How to match GreenMore energy storage products? Power matching: Select the inverter power according to the GreenMore energy storage battery capacity. For example, a 5kWh wall-mounted battery is recommended to be paired with a 3kW-5kW high-frequency inverter to ensure maximum charging and discharging efficiency. Output waveform: Give priority to pure sine wave output models to avoid harmonic interference of square wave/modified wave inverters on motor loads (such as water pumps and refrigerators). Communication protocol: Select an inverter that supports RS485/CAN bus communication, which can be linked with the GreenMore Energy Management System (EMS) to achieve remote monitoring, fault warning and strategy optimization. When purchasing a high-frequency inverter, it is recommended to focus on the following points: Rated output power: ensure that it matches your PV system capacity and load requirements; Maximum input voltage and MPPT range: to adapt to PV modules of different specifications; Conversion efficiency: The higher the better, which directly affects the power generation revenue; Protection level and heat dissipation performance: ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment; Compatibility: whether it supports seamless integration with GreenMore energy storage batteries; Brand and after-sales service: Choose a strong and reputable brand, such as Growatt, GreenMore, GoodWe, HUAWEI, etc., to ensure worry-free after-sales service.

In a solar photovoltaic system, the inverter plays a vital role. It is responsible for converting the direct current (DC) generated by the photovoltaic panels into alternating current (AC) for home and commercial use. According to their operating frequencies, inverters are mainly divided into high-frequency inverters and low-frequency inverters. This article will introduce the characteristics, advantages and applicable scenarios of low-frequency solar inverters in detail from the professional perspective of GreenMore. 1. Working principle of low frequency solar inverter Low-frequency solar inverters use power frequency transformers to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), and their core operating frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz. Compared with high-frequency inverters, low-frequency solutions use the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve voltage amplitude adjustment and electrical isolation through transformer windings. This design retains the stability advantage of traditional power frequency transformers, while reducing harmonic interference by optimizing the filter circuit, and the output waveform is closer to a standard sine wave. At the structural level, low-frequency inverters usually include DC input, full-bridge inverter circuit, power frequency transformer, filter circuit and control module. Among them, the power frequency transformer, as a key component, undertakes the dual functions of voltage conversion and safety isolation. Its core material is made of high-permeability silicon steel sheets to effectively reduce hysteresis loss and eddy current loss. Key features of low frequency inverter: High power output: Low frequency inverters are able to handle higher power loads due to the use of conventional oversized transformers. Better shock resistance: suitable for starting equipment that requires instantaneous high power, such as motors, refrigerators, etc. More stable performance: It has stronger adaptability to power grid fluctuations, especially excellent performance in harsh environments. 2. Advantages of Low Frequency Solar Inverter High reliability and long life Because their design is based on mature power frequency technology, low-frequency inverters have high mechanical strength and electrical stability. This enables them to maintain efficient operation for a long time and reduce maintenance requirements. Excellent overload capability and peak power support Low-frequency inverters can withstand overload conditions for a longer period of time and provide strong peak power support, which is especially important for starting high-power electrical appliances. Better thermal management Compared with high-frequency inverters, low-frequency inverters can maintain good working conditions under high temperature conditions because they use a larger heat dissipation area and a more effective cooling mechanism.   3. Application scenario analysis Home energy storage system For households with many home appliances, choosing a reliable low-frequency inverter can ensure stable power supply even during peak power demand periods. For example, the low-frequency inverter provided by GreenMore’s home energy storage system can not only effectively manage daily power consumption, but also provide continuous backup power in emergencies. Commercial and industrial use In commercial buildings or factory environments, power demand is often greater and more diverse. Low-frequency inverters are one of the ideal solutions due to their excellent overload capacity and stability. The low-frequency inverters equipped in GreenMore commercial battery energy storage cabinets can meet various complex power needs, helping users achieve energy cost savings and green transformation. Remote areas far from the city power grid In these places, the power supply is unstable or there is a lack of grid access. The powerful functions of low-frequency inverters make them the first choice for independent solar power generation systems to ensure the basic living electricity of local residents. 4. How to choose a suitable low-frequency solar inverter? GreenMore recommends users to make comprehensive decisions based on load characteristics, environmental conditions and cost budget: Scenarios requiring high reliability: Prioritize low-frequency solutions with an MTBF (mean time between failures) greater than 100,000 hours and a maintenance cycle extended to 5 years.
