While both these systems work well to generate solar electricity for your home, a solar micro inverter is a miniaturised version of a conventional inverter which allows for more flexibility within your home solar system. Micro inverter solar systems are also newer and use more advanced technology.
Micro Inverter Solar System
Conventional Solar Inverter
Apart from its minimalist aesthetics, the key benefit of using a solar micro inverter vs a traditional solar inverter means that the output of each solar panel works independently, whereas with a conventional inverter if one panel is affected in some way, the output of every panel will be reduced.
While a micro inverter solar system has a slightly higher initial outlay, it is argued that you will getter a better return on your electricity generation due to each micro inverter being installed on each solar panel individually, therefore, maximising the output of each panel.
Whether you’re looking to install a completely new micro inverter solar system or to upgrade your current solar panels, our local central coast solar technicians will provide you with the best advice on how to maximise your solar panel efficiency. Our onsite quote allows us to get a better understanding of your home and exposure in order to provide a more accurate quote for your particular situation.
Micro inverters operate so that each panel has its own single inverter which converts DC to AC power which can be used in your home.
Micro Inverters are used for overcoming very specific challenges and deliver value for money when used for these challenges. Contact us to discuss whether a solar micro inverter system is right for you.
Micro inverter systems are generally 20-30% more expensive than a standard solar system
Micro inverters are better when you have extensive shading or a multi-faceted roof. For other situations, a standard solar system may be better suited.
Solar inverters are covered under the homeowner’s building insurance policy.
Fronius and SMA inverters are considered the best available, although most reputable solar inverters carry similar warranties these days. Just be careful of the cheap solar systems with their cheap inverters which do not last.
Micro inverters operate so that each solar panel has its own single inverter which converts DC to AC power while string inverters generate power from the panels that are all connected together in a “string”.
Most solar inverters have 10-year warranties and are expected to last 20 years.
