1. Micro Inverters - Function and advantage - Module level DC to AC conversion sits with each solar panel for independent optimization. - Per module MPPT improves energy yield and minimizes shading losses. - Independent operation reduces impact of a single panel issue and simplifies expansion. - Built in monitoring provides per panel diagnostics and performance visibility. - Enhanced safety with module level control and faster shutdown. - Compatibility and installation - Works with most photovoltaic panels in residential and light commercial settings. - Suitable for outdoor installation and standard AC connection to the building panel. - Designed to comply with applicable electrical safety standards. - Size, material, and durability - Compact, weather resistant enclosure suitable for rooftop or ground mounting. - Lightweight design to simplify installation and reduce roof load considerations. - Performance attributes - High efficiency conversion with reliable operation across typical temperature ranges. - Robust performance in varied lighting conditions due to per panel optimization. - Practical use scenarios - Residential rooftop installation with partial shading from trees or nearby structures. - Small commercial roof with multiple orientations or mixed panel types. - Modular system planned for gradual expansion by adding panels without reconfiguring existing strings.
