During a power outage, the inverter converts the DC stored in the batteries back into AC for user consumption.

    Do you need an inverter for a battery storage system?

    Every home that installs a battery storage system will need an inverter to convert the stored DC electricity into grid & appliance-friendly AC electricity. The two main choices available are battery-specific inverters and so-called 'hybrid' or multi-mode inverters.

    Why do I need an inverter/charger?

    Many power loads also require standard AC current. For both these reasons, an inverter/charger is required to keep batteries adequately charged and provide power that can be widely used.
