notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: An inverter is a critical component in a rooftop solar installation, converting direct current electricity to alternating current electricity. Solar electric panels produce low voltage, direct current, the same type of current produced by a battery. With few exceptions the electrical system—and most household appliances—operate on higher-voltage alternating current produced by traditional power plants. This inverter panel also monitors and controls the flow of electricity. For safety, the system will automatically disconnect from the power lines if crews need to make repairs.
