Micro Inverters Module level power electronics that convert DC from each solar module into AC for the building electrical system. Each panel operates independently, enabling better performance and safer rooftop operation. Key benefits - Improved energy harvest with shading or panel mismatch Independent panel optimization minimizes losses due to shade, orientation, or module variation. - Safer and easier system design DC is isolated at the module level, reducing rooftop shock risk and simplifying wiring layouts. - Scalable and flexible Add panels over time without reconfiguring existing strings; expand capacity as needs grow. - Simplified monitoring and maintenance Per module performance data helps identify underperforming panels and simplifies troubleshooting. - Quick installation Lightweight, compact enclosures mount near or beneath each module and connect with standard wiring. - Durable for outdoor use Weather resistant construction designed for rooftop mounting and outdoor environments. - Compatibility with common systems Works with most crystalline silicon and thin film modules and standard residential electrical systems; designed to meet relevant grid and safety standards. What it does and how it works - Converts DC from individual PV modules to AC Each module has its own inverter that handles the conversion, allowing every panel to contribute its best output. - Grid-tied operation Outputs are designed to connect with typical home or small commercial electrical systems and grid requirements. - Module-level protection and safety Includes safety features such as rapid shutdown for compliant system demarcation and protection. Size, material and performance indicators - Compact, lightweight enclosures Suitable for rooftop mounting with minimal intrusion or weight impact. - Durable construction Built for outdoor use with materials and gaskings appropriate for long term exposure to weather. - High efficiency characteristics Optimized for efficient conversion from DC to AC across the operating range; performance reliability supported by design. Compatibility and installation considerations - Panel compatibility Suitable for most standard crystalline silicon and thin film PV modules. - Electrical compatibility Designed to integrate with standard residential AC wiring and common grid configurations. - System expansion Modules can be added incrementally; new panels paired with corresponding micro inverters to maintain performance consistency. Performance considerations - Per-module monitoring and visibility Individual module data can be monitored to optimize overall system performance and quickly identify issues. - Consistent output across modules Independent operation reduces the impact of a single underperforming module on the entire string. Use scenarios - Residential rooftop with partial shading A home solar array where trees or nearby structures cast shade on some panels. Micro inverters optimize each panel, increasing overall energy capture compared with a single central inverter. - Retrofit or multi-orientation roof An existing roof with panels facing different directions or at varying angles. Each module’s output is optimized independently, enabling reliable performance without reconfiguring strings. - Small commercial canopy or carport installation A canopy or carport mounting with modules arranged in multiple rows or orientations. The modular approach allows scalable capacity and straightforward expansion as demand grows. Maintenance and support notes - Routine checks focus on secure mounting, robust wiring connections, and monitoring data. - No routine string level tuning is required; address issues at the module level through the monitoring interface and connections. This description preserves the product’s module level operation, compatibility with standard PV modules, compact outdoor form, and practical use cases while providing clear, customer-focused benefits and applications.
