Microinverter
|
Microinverters convert direct current generated by solar modules into alternating current directly on the module. They are preferably used in small systems (e.g. balcony power plants) with up to eight solar panels. As a rule, the microinverters are installed directly under the modules and are therefore located outside of a building. In practical use, for example in a house with several tenants, one advantage is that individual solar panels are not connected in series and therefore remain independent of each other in terms of performance. Negative performance influences on a solar panel, for example due to shading, have no effect on other modules. Data loggers and consumption meters ensure individual billing for each device and make additional installation of additional meters per rental party obsolete. However, with microinverters , care must be taken to ensure that they are compatible with the modules and are of high quality. |
