What Does a Microinverter Do? Benefits, Safety, and When to
For homeowners prioritizing long-term performance, safety, and convenience, microinverters are often the superior choice. Talk to Weltrus about a microinverter PV design.
Here are the top benefits of choosing a microinverter solar panel system: Improved performance: Each panel operates independently, avoiding system-wide inefficiencies. Enhanced monitoring: Track the output of individual panels in real-time. Greater safety: Eliminates high-voltage DC wiring. Scalability: Easily expand your system later.
Microinverters are a type of solar inverter technology installed at each panel. Microinverters offer many benefits, such as rapid shutdown capabilities, flexibility for panel layouts, and panel-level monitoring and diagnostics. Microinverters are typically more expensive than traditional string inverters.
The major disadvantages of microinverters in solar systems include: Microinverters are generally more expensive than traditional string inverters. This consequently leads to a higher upfront cost for the system. Relatedly, replacing a microinverter can be more expensive and labour-intensive than a traditional inverter.
Specifically, microinverters are employed to optimise the performance of individual panels. These plug-and-play devices are particularly useful in residential solar panel systems. Furthermore, they offer higher production, as they aren't affected by shading or obstructions on a single panel.
