A Modified Sine Wave Inverter is a type of power inverter that converts direct current (DC) electricity—typically from batteries or solar panels—into alternating current (AC) electricity using a stepped waveform that approximates a pure sine wave. Unlike pure sine wave inverters, which produce a smooth, continuous waveform similar to utility power, modified sine wave inverters generate a waveform that is more square-shaped, with abrupt transitions between voltage levels. This makes them simpler and more affordable but slightly less compatible with sensitive electronics.
