Microinverter - Function: Converts DC from a single PV module into AC power for the electrical grid, enabling panel level optimization and rapid shutdown for safety. - Why you need it: improves energy yield by addressing shading, panel mismatch, and temperature effects on individual modules; supports easy monitoring and maintenance at the module level. - Compatibility: suitable for standard residential PV installations and works with most common solar modules and AC distribution setups; designed to meet typical safety and outdoor-use standards. - Size and material: compact, weatherproof enclosure suitable for outdoor rooftop or indoor mounting; built for durability in diverse weather conditions. - Performance: provides high efficiency operation with reliable performance across a wide temperature range and low idle losses; supports stable, predictable energy production. - Use scenarios: - Residential rooftop system with partial shading, where panel-by-panel optimization enhances overall output. - Small commercial roof with modules in different orientations, enabling independent module monitoring and simplified wiring. - Retrofit project to upgrade an existing array, improving energy capture and safety through per-module control.
