In electricity we use (inverter)to change dc voltage to ac voltage and (converter) to convert solar energy to electricity .

A converter just changes voltage and maybe frequency. An inverter changes from DC to AC.
We had a rotary converter that took the aircraft 400Hz AC and gave 240v 50Hz for commercial equipment we were using in the test systems.

Well, I am not an electrician but I got some of Knowledge regarding your question. transformers: they are step UP or step DOWN. that mean converting the voltage from 110 to 220 or from 220 to 110 single phase. Inverters: devices converting a DC supply to AC supply, can be using the transformers to reach a specified voltage. Rectifiers: devices converting an AC supply to DC supply. can also be using transformers to reach a certain voltage. Phase Converters: device used to convert a THREE PHASE power supply to a SINGLE PHASE or versa versa. 380v to 230 or 230 to 380.

sorry bro, a converter does not change AC to DC. Thats known as a rectifier.

................. inverter changes D.C. power ----- of battery kind ----- to A.C . , to use domestic appliances light bulbs, etc. or these kind of things to run ................ where as converter .... change A.C. power to D.C. power --------------- like in the car ........... you plug in and can run house hold things ........... light bulbs fans etc .......... this is a simple explanation of your question ................
