Solar inverter PCBs have several electrical components, each performing a unique functionality.
Besides, these parts ensure the PCB operates efficiently since when one part fails, the entire solar inverter PCB fails to operate.
Here are some of the components you will find on solar inverter PCBs:
Resistors
These are one of the most vital components of a solar inverter PCB.
Resistors will transmit electric current to produce voltage and release electric power in form of heat.
Besides, resistors are available in a wide array of materials and the colors illustrate their resistance value.
Transistors
These are amplifiers that will control electronic signals in a solar inverter PCB.
Transistors come in numerous variations but the common version is the bipolar transistor.
A bipolar transistor has three pins, that is, the collector, base, and emitter.
Capacitors
These are the second most common part of the solar inverter PCB after resistors.
Capacitors will hold an electric charge within the solar inverter PCB and release it when another part of the circuit needs more power.
It will perform this by gathering opposite charges on two conductive layers.
Besides, these two conductive layers have insulating materials separating them.
Inductors
These parts are similar to capacitors in nature since they store energy as magnetic fields when electric current flows via them.
Inductors will block signals within the solar inverter PCB, like an interference emanating from other electronic devices or equipment.
Transformers
These parts operate by transferring electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit.
Transformers accomplish this task by increasing or decreasing the voltage.
Diodes
These are components that allow an electric current to flow through in a single direction.
This functionality enables you to clock current from flowing in the wrong or opposite direction.
Besides, this effect will damage the solar inverter PCB.
One of the most common diodes is the light-emitting diode [LED] which operates by emitting light.
Sensors
These components will detect fluctuations in the environment and respond by generating an electrical signal corresponding to the change.
After the detection phase, it will end in other parts within the solar inverter PCB.
The sensors will alter physical elements like air quality, light motion, or electric energy from the sound.
Solid-state Switches
These parts are combination power conductors that will convert direct current to alternating current.
