Solar Inverter Platforms

As a family-run business, we forefront a hands-on approach to customer service, working closely with customers and project managers to ensure our solar farm infrastructure is complementary to larger systems.

The production of Venture Steel Group’s solar inverter platforms takes place on our two family-owned sites, with our team undertaking cutting and punching, forming and welding, on galvanised steel. These processes are aided by CNC machinery, facilitating an efficient and economic manufacturing service with the timely delivery of products.

Our products can be delivered globally, with infrastructure manufactured by Venture Steel Group being used by global energy companies throughout Europe.

Venture Steel Group understands the restricted timescales of solar power projects, and strives to fulfill tight lead times where possible. You can contact us here for further details on timescales.

As established UK manufacturers of steel products, Venture Steel Group supply structural steel products to the solar power industry, including structures for inverter systems. We have been doing so since 2015, and have built up a solid knowledge base and industry partnerships within this time which aid our ability to provide a comprehensive service.

FAQ's

What type of inverter is used in a solar PV system?

The main two types of inverters used within large scale solar power systems are central inverters and micro-inverters.

Central inverters are the most common type of inverter used for large scale systems - starting from around 100kW in size, they centralise and convert the cumulative power of all panels.

Micro-inverters are used for one singular panel - this is to more accurately measure individual solar panels, which can be used to increase productivity of each panel. Micro-inverters are more expensive than one central inverter.

How does a solar farm connect to the grid?

A solar farm connects to an electrical grid firstly through an inverter which changes the direct current produced by solar panels to alternating current which can be employed by the Grid; this current then connects to a grid through a point of interconnection - this is different for utility-scale and community scale systems but connection is facilitated by a distribution line or transmission line, or substation which ensures the appropriate voltage is distributed for the Grid.

How do Solar Inverters work?

The task of a solar inverter is to take the DC current of the solar panels and transform it into an AC current for a household to use in appliances and devices. String inverters work by connecting the panels together to form a single-panel system. Micro-inverters work by connecting panels to independent inverters to sustain operations when panels are shaded. The inverters accept DC current and reverse it rapidly to create AC current for the output.

What are the benefits of solar inverters?

What is a solar inverter platform?

Solar panels capture the sun’s energy and transform it into DC electrical current that is then stored in batteries. However, DC current is not suitable for the majority of households and solar panel farm designs that uses AC current. A solar inverter is a device to convert DC electricity into AC current for homes. A solar panel inverter access platform is an integrated solar panel inverter system that converts current and provides platform access to facilitate maintenance.
