Grid-Tie Inverter
A grid-tie inverter is a power inverter that converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) with an ability to synchronize to interface with a utility line. Its applications are converting DC sources such as solar panels or small wind turbines into AC for tying with the grid.
Hybrid Inverters
An intelligent hybrid inverter or smart grid inverter is a new generation of dedicated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications using renewable energy for home consumption, especially for solar photovoltaic installations.
