Technical FAQs 4

Are power optimizers an inverter?

Importantly, power optimizers are not an inverter on their own: they need to be paired with a centralized string inverter that handles the conversion process. Because power optimizers operate at the panel site, they each act independently.

What is a microinverter & a power optimizer?

Optimizers or microinverters will increase the energy output for solar arrays (especially in partially shaded scenarios), translating into a shorter Return on Investment (ROI). This article will explain everything you need to know about Microinverters and Power Optimizers, going from: What Is a Microinverter?

What is a DC optimizer inverter?

DC optimizers inverters are a great option for solar systems with challenging installation considerations like shade or multiple roof angles. They allow you to harvest significantly more electricity under these conditions at a price competitive with traditional string inverter setups.

What is a solar power optimizer?

A power optimizer or solar optimizer is an electrical component that can be added into a solar power system. It is not a type of solar inverter, as it is often misunderstood to be.
