How does an inverter utilize surplus solar energy to charge a DC-connected battery?

An inverter with battery charging capability can harness excess solar energy to charge a DC-connected battery through a process known as "solar self-consumption."

When the solar panels generate more electricity than is currently needed to power the home or feed back into the grid, the surplus energy is redirected by the inverter to charge the battery bank.


The inverter's internal charge controller regulates the flow of electricity to the battery, ensuring efficient charging while preventing overcharging or damage.


This enables homeowners to maximize their solar energy utilization by storing excess power for later use, such as during periods of low solar production or peak energy demand.
