Technical FAQs 4

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 microinverter solar inverter?

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.

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?

What is a microinverter & how does it work?

Microinverter is another type of PV inverter which is typically installed on individual solar panels. Similarly, microinverter converts DC power from solar panels to AC power for electrical loads. The difference is that a microinverter is a type of Module-Level Power Electronics (MLPE) that optimises individual solar panels' efficiency.
