Best Answer

An inverter changes DC power (like isgenerated from a solar panel) to AC to match the same type of power we get from the power company.

A transformer reduces the power from a more powerful ACsource like a transmission lineto a lower AC source like the power to be used to be used in homes.

An inverter converts DC power to AC power. While a transformer either steps up/down the AC power.
