How did microinverters help homeowners optimise their solar power system size and design?

In the past, the client had a small and low-quality solar system installed. However, due to degradation and failing of the panels, a higher quality 13.1kW system was installed by the company. The new system is equipped with microinverters, which allows for power production in situations where string-based inverters cannot operate, such as when there are multiple roof aspects and shading issues.

The system is capable of producing power from sun up to sun down, and it can offset the client's high power consumption during the day. Additionally, the bigger system opens up the possibility of adding a battery source in the future.

So they had originally quite a small solar system, when the prices were quite high for solar. And that solar system being quite poor quality, we had inspection there and notice that the system was failing, that the panels were degrading, and getting to the point of failing. It had to be turned off and disconnected. And in that process, we've discussed installing a higher quality system. We installed a 13.1 kW system, it turned out to be a little bit bigger. They're certainly at a place or a home that is well investing into high quality solar. And that way they can keep it for the time that they want to remain living there.

So we used microinverters on Adam and Chantels's home, because of the multiple roof aspects, the shading issues that they have. And it was a great way to produce power from sun up to sun down in a situation that a string based inverter couldn't operate in. Well, their power consumption was reasonably high. And with that higher power consumption, it was about maximum offset of their daytime power. Also providing a circumstance, where we were able to build a bigger system, and that bigger system would allow for potentially adding a battery source too in the future.
