DC (Direct Current)
DC stands for "Direct Current" and refers to the direct current generated by the photovoltaic modules in PV systems. In contrast, AC is the alternating current that comes from the switches in our homes. An inverter is needed to convert the direct current produced into alternating current. This device converts the DC electricity so that it can be used for household purposes. When planning a solar installation, it is important to match the size of the inverter to the size of the photovoltaic system.
