Description

Photovoltaic (PV) installations tied to the grid are usually built with arrays of modules connected in series to string inverters. A rapidly growing architecture, the micro-inverter, converts power from one PV module to the AC grid and is usually designed for a max output power in the range of 180-300W. Micro-inverters have advantages:

  • ease of installation
  • Localized maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
  • Redundancy that provides robustness to failure
