Inverters are used to convert the dc output voltage from the PV panels to ac voltage. As PV panels are generally very reliable and needs virtually no maintenance, it is important that the inverters are just as reliable to maintain the overall system reliability. In line with our philosophy of offering reliable and proven products, we have evaluated the specifications and performance of various grid -tie inverters. We currently offer the following grid-tie inverter:
SMA Solar Grid-Tie Inverters

SMA was founded in 1981 with the vision to develop and produce intelligent computer-based control systems for decentralized energy supply. This vision resulted in sophisticated products that are fail-safe and extremely reliable, especially in energy supply system which has to guarantee long-term trouble-free operation.
Due to their know-how from 20 years of experience in the development and fabrication of system technology for photovoltaic, wind energy and combined power generation plants, continuous product improvements and the use of absolutely new technologies, SMA is a pioneer in the field of solar technology. The close cooperation with the ISET (Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik) in the field of research resulted in innovations that have set standards specifically for decentralized power supply systems.
SMA is headquartered in Germany and has subsidiary offices in Italy, Spain, Beijing, USA, Korea, France, Greece and Australia.
