With energy alternatives readily available and affordable, there has never been a better time to make the switch.
The solar inverter is a vital part of your solar energy system and choosing the right one for your home, business, or off-grid system will see you make the most return on your investment.
Solar energy generated from your solar panels is required to pass through the inverter to convert the solar to usable electricity, so selecting an inverter with proven performance, high safety measures, and extensive warranties is critical.
At Springers Solar, we only recommend a select number of solar inverters that have been tried and tested to perform for Queensland homes and businesses. We choose our suppliers carefully to ensure that our entry-level systems to top-of-the-line components align with our strict measures of component success.
We select our recommended solar inverters based on performance, warranty, and longevity.

The Quality Of Your Solar Inverter Is Crucial
Ask these questions to get the most out of your system.
Solar inverters are the "engine room" for any solar system, as they are responsible for converting the DC power that solar panels generate into usable AC power for your home or business.
Inverters are easily the most expensive component of a solar system, which is why they must be expertly selected to fit the unique requirements of your property.
Before purchasing a solar inverter, ask the following questions:
- What is the solar inverter's warranty period?
- Can I expand this solar system in the future?
- Does the inverter offer monitoring capabilities?
- Is there after-sales support offered on this inverter?

Choosing The Right Inverter Type
String Inverters vs. Microinverters
For residential and commercial applications, string inverters and microinverters are the most common inverter solutions. But which one is right for your system?
String inverters are the traditional and cost-effective option for solar energy systems. Often paired with power optimisers, a string inverter is attached to the solar panel array by "strings" - hence the name. A string inverter system is installed near the main server to offer easy access and maintenance. A string inverter solution offers a centralised system with great efficiency rates (around 96%), making it an excellent choice for residential and commercial projects.
Microinverter technology operates similarly to string inverters, in that they convert DC power generated from the panel array to usable AC electricity. However, instead of a centralised inverter server, microinverters are installed on the back of each individual panel. This allows each solar panel to perform independently to maximise output, making this a great solution for shaded rooftops.

String Inverter Advantages
- Low upfront costs
- Known for their durability and reliability
- Low probability of wiring issues
- Easy to troubleshoot
Microinverter Advantages
- Extensive monitoring capabilities
- Long lifespan
- Easily built upon for future expansions
- Flexible around challenging installations

Our Strict Measures of Solar Inverter Success
Performance & Efficiency
Most inverters specify a peak performance, which refers to the highest efficiency the inverter can achieve. The higher this figure, the better the inverter will perform and the better your return on investment will be.
Quality & Warranty Protection
When choosing your inverter it is important to look at the manufacturer's reputation, assurances, and warranties to ensure your inverter will continue to perform at its best over its lifetime.
Safety Features
All solar inverters come equipped with a basic standard of safety features to ensure your solar system runs safely, but not all inverters are made equal. Additional safety features that are above and beyond the standard can ensure peace of mind that your system is running safely and efficiently.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about solar inverters.
Your inverter is the heart of your solar system. It takes the DC power your panels produce and converts it into usable AC power for your home. It also manages system safety, performance, and communication with the grid, so choosing a reliable inverter is essential.
In Australia, most homes use either a string inverter, microinverters, or a hybrid inverter.
- String inverters are the most common and offer great value and reliability.
- Microinverters optimise each panel individually, which is handy if you have shading or a complex roof.
- Hybrid inverters are designed for systems that include (or plan to include) battery storage.
At Springers Solar, we’ll help you choose what best suits your home and energy goals.
Most inverters last around 10–15 years, depending on the brand and the installation conditions. Premium models can often perform even longer. Warranties typically range between 5 and 12 years, with extensions available for top-tier units, though we always recommend picking an inverter with a warranty of at least 10 years.
Standard grid-tied inverters shut down automatically during a blackout to protect line workers. If backup power is important to you, you’ll need a hybrid inverter paired with a compatible battery and backup circuit.
Inverters are low-maintenance, but benefit from an annual system check. Keeping them shaded, cool, and free from dust or insects helps them run efficiently.
Absolutely. If you already have a hybrid inverter, you’re ready for a battery anytime.
If you’ve got a standard string inverter, we will need to do a little more to your system, but it is still possible to add storage. For example, we can still add storage using an AC-coupled battery like the Tesla Powerwall. There’s a solution for every setup.
