Top Solar inverter Distributors Suppliers in Guinea-Bissau
Without the inverter, the power generated by the solar system is kind of useless. In simple words, the whole process is when solar panels capture sunlight and converts it into energy, which is sent to the inverter, which turns the DC energy into AC energy. After the energy conversion, solar electricity can power all the appliances and electronics.
