There are many types of solar inverters to consider, and the best one will depend on the size and configuration of your system. At SolarPath, our trained team of experts will help you determine the right solar panel inverter to get the most value from your solar investment.
Since 2012, SolarPath has been designing and installing solar systems for homeowners and business owners around Australia. During this time, we’ve earned the business of thousands of Aussies who are committed to cutting their energy costs and protecting the environment with the power of solar.
At SolarPath, we work with the best solar inverter brands in the industry, including SolarEdge, SMA, Enphase, Fronius, Sungrow, Growatt, Goodwe, and SolaX. All of our inverters are backed by product warranties, so you can buy with confidence and expect an excellent return on your investment for years to come.
First, your inverter is responsible for converting the electricity generated by your solar panels into usable energy for your property. Your solar panels produce Direct Current (DC) electricity, whereas your home uses 240-volt Alternating Current (AC) electricity. Therefore, the main function is to convert the DC electricity from the panels into AC electricity you can use in your home.
Second, the inverter acts as a “traffic cop” and directs the AC power to where it’s needed. Before anything else, the inverter will send the supply to your home. If there is excess power, it will be directed to your solar battery (if you have one in your solar system). When your battery is fully charged, it sends any extra power back to the grid. If you don’t have a battery, any power not used in your home will go back to the grid.
On top of converting and directing electricity, today’s best solar inverters in Australia can also help you monitor your energy generation and usage. For example, Sungrow solar inverters include access to the company’s iSolarCloud platform, which allows solar system owners to see how much power they produce each day and how much money they’ve saved by switching to solar.
As you might expect, these are crucial functions in any solar power system. Without an inverter, your solar panels could collect sun-sourced energy, but that energy couldn’t be converted to use in your home or business.
Alternatively, if you have a solar battery at home, you can consider purchasing a hybrid inverter. Hybrid inverters are two-in-one devices that perform all of the functions of a typical inverter, but they can also send electricity back and forth to your battery (which would otherwise require an additional battery inverter).
When designing a commercial solar system, we choose an inverter that best suits your needs. For commercial solar systems, we recommend selected solar inverters and design the system with several inverters. This design means that if there is an issue with an inverter, it will only affect the panels attached to that inverter and not the whole array of panels.
Most come with a five-year warranty, although some products have extended warranty options. For our standard residential solar system packages, we offer the compact and smart Growatt MIN 5000TL-X 5kW inverter with a 5+5 year warranty and outstanding efficiency of 98.4%.
We have a wide selection of solar power inverters, so you’re sure to find one that fits your requirements. If you have a small residential solar system or an expansive commercial solar project, SolarPath is here to help you find the inverter to get your system up and running. Additionally, we offer a variety of high-quality solar products, including solar panels, skylights, solar roof ventilation, solar water heaters. We supply and install these products at an affordable solar installation cost to ensure that you are saving more in the long run.

Signs that your solar inverter may need repair include unusual noises, error messages, or a significant drop in energy production. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to contact a professional for an assessment and repair.
Solar inverters typically last between 10 to 15 years, depending on the brand and usage conditions. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help extend the lifespan of your inverter.
When choosing a solar inverter, consider factors such as efficiency, warranty, compatibility with your solar panels, and the specific requirements of your energy system. Our experts can guide you through the selection process to ensure you get the best inverter for your needs.
