How Much Does a Solar Inverter Cost? (2026)
Solar inverter prices depend on the size and whether it''s a string inverter, microinverter, or hybrid model. String inverter systems cost less up front, but systems using
Inverter costs usually range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on your solar energy system's total power capacity. Three of the most popular options for solar inverters are string inverters, microinverters and solar generators. Microinverters make it much easier to add more solar panels later on.
Solar inverters perform DC to AC conversion: Solar panels generate direct current (DC), which is electricity that flows in a single, constant direction. But homes, businesses and your local electrical grid operate on alternating current (AC), where the flow of electricity changes direction many times per second.
There are two categories to consider when deciding on the right solar inverter type: the solar inverter technology, and the type of solar power system the inverter is for. String inverter: A string inverter is a single, standalone unit that converts power from a whole string (or strings) of solar panels.
