Inverter Efficiency: Understanding How Much Power You''re
Many people think that once they connect their solar panels and batteries to an inverter, they''re automatically using 100% of the power being generated. But that''s not always
An inverter converts DC power from the battery to AC power for use by household appliances. Even when no appliances are running, the inverter still uses a small amount of power for automatic detection or to check the battery's health. When do I turn on the inverter? The inverter can be left on all the time in most everyday situations.
With the inverter always on, you can power your appliances and devices without worrying about interruptions or having to manually turn it on and off. This is particularly useful for applications like RVs or boats, where you may need to power appliances continuously, such as refrigerators or lighting systems.
Leaving the inverter on all the time means that you can power up your appliances quickly, without having to wait for the inverter to start up from standby mode. This is particularly important for devices that require an immediate power supply, such as medical equipment or communication systems.
The power goes out and your appliances cease to run. You can always turn the inverter back on but that can take time. And most appliances do not like being turned on and off. By leaving the inverter on, the system can automatically switch to it when shore power ceases.
