4 FAQs about Micro Solar DC Generator

What are solar microinverters?

What are Microinverters? Solar microinverters are small electronic devices that convert DC electricity from individual solar panels into AC electricity that your home can use.

Where should a microinverter sit on a solar panel?

Alternatively, string inverters typically sit more conveniently on the side of your house. Clipping refers to power losses associated with microinverters and is an important consideration when shopping for a solar panel system. Often, the power output rating of your microinverter is lower than that of the panel itself.

How efficient is a microinverter?

An inverter's efficiency measures energy losses during the conversion from DC to AC electricity. The more efficient the microinverter, the more solar electricity production. Efficiency ratings are often measured under ideal conditions, but things like climate and weather contribute to a microinverter's actual efficiency.

Are micro-inverters a good choice for your solar system?

Micro-inverters are ideal for most residential and small commercial solar systems. Their advantages include low-cost, module-level optimization and tracking, high-performance, and easy installation. Additionally, most micro-inverters come with a 25-year warranty to match the long-life of today's PV modules.
