A residential inverter, also known as a home inverter, is an electronic device used to convert direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. It is commonly used in homes to power various electrical appliances and devices that require AC power. The need for residential inverters arises in situations where the electricity supply is primarily generated from sources like solar panels, wind turbines, or batteries, which produce DC electricity. Since most household appliances and electrical devices operate on AC power, the inverter bridges the gap between the DC source and the AC load.
