A microinverter is a small version of an inverter that connects directly to individual solar panels. It converts the direct current (DC) generated by a panel into alternating current (AC) that can be used by homes and the power grid.
Advantages:
-
Module Monitoring : Allows monitoring of each module individually.
-
Optimization : Minimizes performance losses due to shading or dirt on individual modules.
-
Flexibility : Ideal for small solar systems or systems with modules in different orientations.
Microinverters improve efficiency and enable the solar system to be expanded module by module.
