Different features :Charge Controller and Inverter
More and more people are choosing to use solar energy to build solar home storage systems to reduce their dependence on the grid and live off-grid. Especially in the event of a power outage, the use of stored solar energy can keep essential equipment running and reduce the inconvenience caused by power outages. Setting up a complete solar home energy storage system requires a lot of preparation, and inevitably some component choices have to be considered.
However, when you are a first-timer in solar system building, it can often be confusing. For example, the charge controller and inverter, have you also had questions about their use?
Charge Controller
Charge controller is an essential component of a solar system, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the whole system, manage the solar energy input to the battery bank, optimize the use of solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity to be stored in the battery charging process, and prevent overcharging.
SANFOU MPPT 2430 is capable of achieving 98% conversion efficiency and 99% tracking efficiency, providing multiple protections to dramatically increase the efficiency of the entire solar system.
Inverter
What is an inverter?
First of all, we know that household electricity is AC, and the output of electricity stored in the battery is DC. This also means that our common household appliances basically use AC power, however, the home energy storage system that is constructed uses batteries to convert solar energy into electricity and store it for emergencies. At this point, the battery output is DC, which is not enough to meet the use of home appliances. We need to convert the DC power to AC power for the home appliances to work properly.
Adding an inverter to the home battery system will enable the conversion of DC to AC. In short, an inverter is a component that converts DC power to AC power.
Installing these two components in a solar home energy storage system allows for a more efficient off-grid system that is less dependent on the grid. Of course, in addition to being able to go off-grid at home, the combination of solar panels and LiFePO4 batteries can often keep us from worrying about being caught in a power shortage when traveling in an RV, camping, and other outdoor activities, which often require spending time in the wilderness or remote areas. The use of MPPT charge controllers will be more efficient and faster, and will also better protect the battery and extend the life of the LiFePO4 battery.
As the use of solar energy becomes more common and technology continues to evolve, more components can be applied to solar home energy storage systems, installing MPPT charge controllers and inverters is one option, then another possibility is to combine the two into one, and that is to opt for an MPPT inverter, which is also a troubling component, and dismantling them one by one, we will come to a clear understanding.
We mentioned above the functions of the MPPT and the inverter, they are very different in nature, next we will explore the MPPT inverter and how it differs from the MPPT charge controller.
This component centralizes the charge controller and inverter into one component, which is very suitable for solar home energy storage system, optimizing the solar conversion efficiency of PV panels, tracking the maximum power point, keeping the batteries with efficient energy input, and improving the efficiency of the whole system.
This module can realize: battery protection, power management, data tracking, energy conversion and other multiple functions. Also because it has dual functions and is a combination of two components, it is relatively costly, but avoids the difficulties associated with installing two components and is more convenient and faster.
MPPT charge controller is essential in a solar home energy storage system to maximize the solar energy conversion efficiency and achieve efficient charging.SANFOU MPPT 2430 is suitable for 12V,24V battery system, visual LCD screen and LED indicator to improve the efficiency of the whole system and give you a better using experience.
