⚠️Hie guys sorry for the wait, today we are going to talk about the centre of the solar system, the inverter, we will talk about types of inverters, sizes, my personal favorites etc... this is going to be a long one [A thread]⚠️ 
First things first, guys electricity is dangerous, just because its an inverter it doesn't mean that the electricity it produces is not dangerous, please get a professional to install it for you, THE PROPER WAY... also, remember in solar, cheap is expensive!
Right, there are several types of inverters but i will talk about about 3 types
-offgrid
-hybrid
-Gridtie
All of them are there for different purposes

1.) I shall begin with Offgrid
These are the most basic of inverters, they are the cheapest in the market, ideal for homes with no electricity and rural areas as well, most of these need an external charge controller(see fig 3) ⚠️these ones do not link with zesa in any way⚠️

2.) Next up we have Hybrid inverters
They have a lot of features, they have, they automatically change over to zesa and solar when a powercut occurs, they do not need an external charge controller! You can even monitor some of them via an app! They are ideal for urban areas

2b) hybrid inverters are capable of charging your batteries from solar panels and zesa, they can keep your batteries full incase a power cut goes and you can even set them to use solar first to save your zesa bill. These are my favorite.
3.) Next up we have a grid tie inverter
These are smart inverter capable of feeding back excess power from your panels to the grid. They work hand in hand with a net meter capable of calculating the amount of energy you feedback. They are the most expensive.

3b. We have 2 types, hybrid gridtie and PV inverters, the only difference is that the hybrid gridtie involves batteries and the pv inverter doesn't use batteries, it converts power from the panels and inputs it straight to the grid
Nowadays you can combine inverters to increase your wattage in so many different ways. Combining small inverters to have a huge power output is the cheapest way of making a big system, you can combine up to 9 x 5kva inverters to have a power output of 45kva!!!
⚠️⚠️⚠️Remember you can only combine inverters if they are compatible!!! They are there in our market and only qualified trained technicians must install them otherwise if they are not compatible or if you connect them wrongly they will EXPLODE⚡⚡⚡⚠️⚠️⚠️
So these are the brands that i personally trust and usually install and are hustle free that i recommend ....
Victron, Phocos, Fronius, kodak
Victron, Phocos, Fronius, kodak
TBB, growatt, synapse, Schneider
Rebel Energy.
Ofcourse there is also Must and meccer as well in the market
Remember cheap is expensive. I know a solar inverter is not cheap but guys in the longrun you get what you pay for, cheap inverters are very problematic, it might take some time to reply all of you so please bear with me👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
⚠️There is a provision for feeding back in to the grid in place⚠️
