Choosing the right inverter is one of the most important parts of any solar installation. Your inverter controls how efficiently your home can use the solar energy generated on your roof — and it directly impacts long-term performance and reliability.
Activ8 Solar Energies are Ireland’s solar experts celebrating our 20th year in business with over 25,000 installations on the island of Ireland, and we install proven inverter technology designed for Irish homes.
Solar panels produce DC electricity, while homes in Ireland use AC electricity.
A solar PV inverter converts DC into AC, so your home can safely use the solar energy you generate.
A solar PV inverter typically:
• Converts solar power into usable household electricity
• Helps your system run efficiently
• Allows performance monitoring (often via an app)
• Includes safety shut-off features
At Activ8 Solar Energies, we use the Solis S6-GR1P(2.5–6)K inverter, designed for residential solar PV systems.
Up to 97.7% maximum efficiency, helping you get more usable energy from your solar panels.
With string current up to 14A, it supports today’s residential PV panels.
Improves generation performance across changing sunlight conditions.
A 2 MPPT setup can help optimise generation across different roof orientations.
Helps manage export output where required.
