Inverters
Today's inverters are very efficient and reliable.
Some PV systems are designed to run DC loads exclusively and so not need an inverter, however an inverter is necessary in any PV system in which you want to run AC applications and tools, or if you are intending to interface your PV system with the Utility.
Most grid-tie inverters are simple machines that are dedicated to converting the DC current from a solar array into AC current and feeding it into the utility grid.
