Do you need an inverter for a solar panel system?

You’ll also need an inverter as part of your solar panel system, as this is what converts solar energy into the AC electricity used by the grid. Solar batteries are an additional investment that allows you to store surplus solar energy for later use or to sell back to the National Grid.
