Microinverter

Definition: A small inverter attached to each individual solar panel in a photovoltaic system, converting the DC output of a single panel to AC.

Relevance to energy: Microinverters can increase the efficiency of solar panel systems, especially in situations where some panels may be shaded or have different orientations.

Benefits:

  • Optimizes performance of individual solar panels
  • Easier to monitor performance of each panel
  • Can increase overall system efficiency

Drawbacks:

  • Higher initial cost compared to string inverters
  • More components that could potentially fail
  • Can be more complex to install

Statistics: According to a study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, systems with microinverters can produce 4-12% more energy than systems with string inverters in certain conditions.
