If you're thinking about going solar, you may want to research what the best solar panel is, but our opinion, it's even more important to choose the right inverter. While there are subtle advantages and disadvantages to different solar panels, bad inverters are the biggest cause of problems with solar systems. Having the right inverter can make a huge difference in the long-term performance of a solar system.

Inverters take DC energy from the solar panels and convert it into AC electricity that your home can use. It's often the most complicated piece of equipment in a solar system and usually the second most expensive, after the panels themselves. They are also the most likely piece of equipment to cause a major loss of production if they fail.
