What are the benefits of using micro-inverters on a solar power system?

Synopsis

Our use of micro-inverters allows for greater flexibility when it comes to the orientation of solar panels, as each panel operates independently, maximising their individual output. Unlike string inverters, which can limit the performance of the entire system by the lowest performing panel, micro-inverters ensure that the performance of one shaded panel won't affect the output of others. This technology not only allows for an infinitely expandable system, but also provides greater safety due to individual monitoring and low failure rates.

Our micro-inverter market offers excellent software, providing detailed information on the system's performance to ensure optimal output. By monitoring each panel independently, we are able to quickly identify any failures and maintain the safety of the system. With our focus on safety and efficiency, we are able to provide a reliable and flexible solution for solar energy production.

We primarily use micro-inverters and that allows us to basically orient panels in multiple different directions, each panel operating independently as its own system, enabling you to be able to expand that system without having any limitations on performance of older panels, that may not have the same output as newer panels. Micro-inverter technology, it gets better yield out of the panels, each panel will perform at its maximum. If one panel is shaded in the system, it's not going to bring down the performance of another panel. We use micro-inverters because the system is infinitely expandable, so each panel operates independently with a micro-inverter to itself. Whereas with string inverters, basically you can be limited by the performance of the lowest performing panel.

Safety is absolutely a factor, these systems are producing electricity. Part of the reason we use micro-inverters is they are a inherently safer product. In the micro-inverter market, it is excellent software so we can get a really good grasp on what the actual system is producing. Exactly if a panel has a failure, we would know straightaway which panel it is because each panel is independently monitored by the individual micro-inverter and we have a very, very, very low failure rate on these particular products.
