Solar Inverter Prices In Pakistan

Solar inverter is an important element in the solar energy systems. Solar Inverter prices fluctuate in markets with different types of brands and kw capacity in the Market.

People are moving to generate solar energy due to the increase in load-shedding as well as increase in the cost of electricity bills in Pakistan. Solar panels and their accessories are nowadays affordable. These solar systems produce electricity with high efficiency. 

In this article, different types of solar inverters and their prices are discussed in detail. This discussion is helpful in selecting a proper inverter with an estimating budget.

A solar inverter, an integral part in any solar system, converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). In the Solar energy system, solar panels produce DC electricity which are not suitable for domestic usage. A device is necessary in a solar energy system to convert that DC energy to AC electricity which is suitable for house appliances. This function of converting DC to AC electricity is done by Solar inverters.

Based on technology there are different solar inverter available in Pakistani Market:

• String inverters
• Micro inverters
• Hybrid inverters
• Grid – tie inverters

String inverter is the electrical device that connects to the solar panel parallel and converts the direct current DC to the alternating current AC. People use different types of devices to connect the solar panels in the sequence. 

At the end , users suggest having at least 12 to 15 solar panels connected in the sequence with the string inverter. Thus the string inverter is able to convert DC to AC from each of the solar panels.

String inverters are cheaper in price than the solar inverters. But if the functioning of one solar panel is affected, then the whole array is affected.

Micro inverter is another type of solar inverter that is installed to operate separately on each panel. As compared with the string inverter they are produced on the multiple devices but micro inverters convert direct current DC to the alternating current AC separately. These inverters have flexibility in their design. Micro inverters are more expensive than string inverters.

Hybrid inverter is an excellent type of solar inverter. Hybrid inverter is an excellent option for users to connect with the solar panel. These allow to save energy generated by solar panels for later use.

The hybrid inverter provides energy independence. The best thing is that you can use  stored energy at night when there is no sunshine. However hybrid inverters are a little bit more expensive than the string inverter. 

Based on application the following solar invertors are available in market:

• On-Grid inverters
• OFF-Grid inverters
• Hybrid inverters

On-Grid inverter is a helpful inverter that reduces your electricity cost while introducing eco-friendly values into your power usage. Their inverter is synced with the utility grid to enable you to sell extra electricity. 

Off-grid solar inverters operate stand alone. These inverters have no connection with Utility grids. These inverters are operating in day time only. Off-grid requires batteries and power banks for storage of electricity.

Hybrid inverters operate in mixed mode. It can be operator stand alone, with utility grids and with batteries. In markets, mostly the inverters are hybrid types

Inverter selection required proper knowledge about the following:

• Calculate load requirement and then match capacity of the solar inverter
• Efficiency and Conversion Rate of solar inverter
• Durability and Warranty of inverter: As different company give different warranty period 
• Compatibility with Solar Panels 
• Compatibility with Battery Systems
• Cost and Budget Considerations
• Monitoring and Control Features for solar inverters: Different companies offer different features. One of the best features is to control and manage load through wifi control.
• Consultation  with Experts or Installers
• Visit to the place, where already solar system is installed

The technology of solar systems is constantly improving and changing. We expect to see improvements in the future, such as smarter energy management. We expect that our solar panel system will continue to improve, making this inverter even more effective and efficient.

We have listed the different types of inverters and their prices. The solar invertor prices depends on their power, efficiency, brand, features, warranty, etc. Do your research before buying a new solar inverter. You can also buy solar inverters from your local store, but they are usually cheaper. It’s all up to you!
