Solar cells convert solar energy into electricity.

Can solar inverters support grid management?

As the “brains” of solar projects, inverters can support grid management, but to date regulations have prevented the use of the full range of inverter capabilities. Smart inverters, now mandated under California’s Rule 21, can help support management of the electric grid.
