Micro InvertersThe Enphase micro inverters are the newest thing in solar power conversion. They are expected to bring dramatic changes to the proeduction of solar power. It is attached to the back of each panel and converts the DC solar energy, produced by the solar panel, immediately to AC electricity that can be used in the home. Up until this point all the DC current was fed into one inverter near the electric panel in the home. There are a few disadvantages with the single inverter system. There is more energy loss with the low voltage direct current as it travels from the array to the main inverter. If your inverter breaks down, your whole solar system is down. The micro unit has a much longer life than the larger inverters. The other significant advantage is that it is attached to each panel so that if only part of the array is functioning, power is still being produced. It allows the use of different types of solar panels in the same system. It also fascilitates the use of a tracking system that makes sure all panels are functioning properly. Although, it makes each panel more expensive, you have eliminated the cost of the main inverter. Ultimately, you have a smarter, more efficient and more reliable system.
