The difference between micro inverters

4 FAQs about [The difference between micro inverters]

What is the difference between a string inverter and a microinverter?

In contrast, string inverters are normally paired with optimisers to conduct module-level optimisation and monitoring of solar panels. Both have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to installation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solar system. Both string inverters and microinverters work by converting DC power to AC power.

What is a micro inverter?

Microinverters are compact inverters installed on the back of each solar panel in a PV system. Unlike string inverters, microinverters work independently for each panel. A Micro inverter connects to individual panels reducing potential shading. This micro pictured connects to two panels.

Are microinverters bad?

Another thing to note about microinverters is that they may cause you to experience “clipping”, when the solar panel produces more power than an inverter is capable of handling. While this does technically cause energy loss, solar systems are designed with these specifications in mind. What are string inverters?

How do microinverters work?

Unlike string inverters, which convert DC power into AC power for a group of connected panels, microinverters are connected to each individual panel. Installers usually mount the microinverters onto the back of the solar panel, but they can also be placed next to the panel on your solar racking system.
