Smart inverters play a crucial role in stabilizing the electric grid as more solar energy is integrated. By automatically adjusting their output based on grid conditions, smart inverters help maintain voltage and frequency within acceptable ranges. This dynamic support allows the grid to handle higher levels of solar generation without compromising stability or reliability. Smart inverters can also provide valuable grid services like reactive power control and fault ride-through capabilities, further enhancing the grid’s resilience.
