Comparison Between UPS And Inverter

What is comparison between UPS and inverter? Let's first understand DC and AC. DC, in simple terms, is the current in solar panels and batteries; our daily household appliances use AC. If the power is transmitted over a long distance, the loss of AC is about 20%, and the loss of DC is about 80%. The efficiency and loss rate of AC are better than DC, so our household appliances will use AC as the power source.

And the inverter is an intermediate converter that converts the DC power of solar panels or batteries into AC power for household appliances; or converts AC power into DC power and stores it in the battery.

If the power grid in your city is short of supply, or there will be a power outage for several hours a day, as long as you have solar panels and batteries, use Xindun Power's inverter as a converter, then you will get free, clean solar energy, and you can store excess solar energy in the battery as a backup power source at night. Here, solar panels, inverters and batteries form an off-grid solar energy system. As the name suggests, even if there is no power grid supply, as long as you have such a system, you can build an independent energy system that is not affected by the power grid supply. This independent energy system will not pollute the environment, and most importantly: the energy is obtained for free, and users do not need to bear any electricity expenses.

If you still don't understand what an inverter is, let's recall the name of a device: UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). It was first introduced in Los Angeles, USA in 1903. It is an UPS with an energy storage device. It is mainly used to provide UPS to some equipment with high requirements for power supply stability. But at that time, UPS could only provide about 10 minutes of reserve power, and solar panels could not be used to charge batteries. For users who suffered power outages for several hours, UPS obviously could not meet the needs, so the inverter was born.

The inverter has gone through the development history of square wave, modified wave and pure sine wave output.

At the beginning, square wave output, although it can meet the continuous supply of electric energy, is unstable, manifested as the light is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and the inverter output is accompanied by vibration and noise; then the modified wave output appears, the shortcomings of square wave are greatly improved, but the problems of vibration, noise and unstable output still exist. Finally, the pure sine wave technology that we have been using for xindun power appeared. Just like the tires of a car, they are square at first, and the driver will feel that the road is very bumpy. Finally, they are replaced with pure sine waves, and the tires become round, and the driver feels the real driving pleasure: smooth, low noise and stable.

Inverters are widely used in various energy shortage places in the world: In Africa, the power supply of the power grid is very unstable, sometimes there will be power outages for 6 hours or more a day, which seriously affects people's work and life. The emergence of inverters has changed their situation. In sunny Africa, people store and use solar energy through solar panels, and use inverters to power household appliances or equipment, so that work and life can proceed smoothly. As early as 2013, Xindun Power has entered the Africa market. We are the first Chinese inverter company to enter the Africa market. Through long-term research on the usage habits and usage environment of local users, we launched the first low-frequency inverter with reliable quality and easy operation, from small power 300w to 160kw. We have been keeping up with market trends and making continuous improvements. Until now, the inverter design principle of Xindun Power has been imitated by various brands.
