If you are going to invest in a solar system, it is best to take the time to investigate the best options for your home or business. Installing a system can be pricey but in the long run, if you make the correct choices your system will last for many years to come.

A microinverter converts solar energy into electricity, they are connected to the back of each solar panel making it easy to control and manage. They are safe and reliable in converting the maximum energy from each panel. Microinverters work individually where string inverters convert as a string together.

As the panels are all slightly different the reason a microinverter is a better choice than string inverters is because with a string inverter the maximum power drawn is from the weakest string.

Microinverters are connected to the back of each panel, the panels are then connected parallel to each other ultimately connecting to the grid. This kind of connection using microinverters ensures that if one panel fails it will not affect the whole system and all other panels will continue to function correctly.

Another reason why a microinverter ...
... is more expensive is that the installation can take much longer as each individual inverter needs to be connected separately to each solar panel. With a string, there is one central inverter to connect which will convert the energy.

There are several reasons why a microinverter is a good initial investment:


They are durable and reliable having a long lifespan.
Each panel has a microinverter connected making it easy to expand the system.
The units solar panel and inverter make difficult installations less challenging.
The microinverters are easy to monitor and track the performance of panels with smartphones.

Some further reasons to invest in microinverters is the safety aspect because they convert AC electricity to DC electricity instantly. With this installation, there is no exposure to direct current. A big plus for microinverters is that the warranties are 25 years which is a huge advantage and testament to the performance level. The string inverter system offers a 5-year guarantee.

If your roof is shady microinverters will be the best choice because they convert solar energy independently and one panel in the shade will not affect how much current the system produces. Another advantage of choosing microinverters is that because the panels are not connected to each other you can install one or two panels.

It was thought that there was potential for more hiccups and problems having so many inverters to keep track of however over the years microinverters have outperformed all others.

A big advantage of using microinverters is that panels can be added to the system at any time to expand and provide more electricity as you need it. This is a critical component, and it is extremely important to make sure you decide on the correct system to get the maximum return on investment.

The microinverter is attached to the solar panel and monitored or controlled remotely by a smartphone app. Some installers will provide a central monitor to keep track of electricity production and if neither of these options is provided you can monitor directly from the inverter itself.

You will need to check safety, warranties, and extras when purchasing a solar system. It is important to make sure that these are all in place and that the installer can provide both microinverters, central inverters, and string inverters for your convenience.

It is obvious that microinverters are the best option although more expensive the advantages outweigh the cost and give optimal performance making sure you will have an uninterrupted electricity supply.
