No, connecting solar panels directly to an inverter is unsafe and inefficient. Grid-tied systems also require safety disconnects and MPPT optimization for 20-30% higher.

A drill with suitable bits - ideally masonry bits if you're securing the inverter to a brick or concrete wall - is essential. You'll also need screwdrivers, bolts, and nuts, as well as a spirit level to ensure your inverter is level once mounted.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Photons from sunlight hit silicon cells inside the panel, knock electrons free from their atoms, and an electric field pushes those electrons through a circuit — that flow of electrons is electricity.
