Evaluation of recent residential inverters
Abstract
Seven residential utility interactive inverters for photovoltaic power systems were evaluated. Five inverters: an 8 kW (dc) model with an ac filter to improve the output current waveform and power factor; a 10 kW (ac) model, a 6 kW (dc) model; and 2 kW and 4 kW (ac) models were reviewed. Input and output power, power factor, current waveform distortion, audio noise and radio frequency interference measurements were made and the results are presented.
