 Inverters are used to convert the low voltage DC from the battery (usually 12V) into mains type 230/240V AC. Higher output-quality inverters are better for most purposes, but these can add substantially to the cost of the system. Lower cost inverters have lower output, and/or lower protection against abuse. Inverters generally make sense for small networks of households with a central generator, since the additional costs can be shared, and the cable runs are long enough to require the higher voltage supply.
 Since DC is the only type of electricity directly usable from batteries, the supply must be reconverted into standard AC trough an inverter. Most common electrical appliances are designed for AC; therefore DC appliances can be limited in terms of availability.

 Load management/control is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical load by adjusting or controlling the load rather than the power station output.
