Solar Inverters What Sits under the Solar Panel Matters

November 10, 2017

From those who want to save some bucks by going solar, to the environmental-friendly folk looking for green energy sources, to the ones who merely want to upgrade their conventional solar power generation system, each client of solar energy has varying needs. As an engineer, you first need to consider the design requirements of each consumer. There are numerous inverter options for solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems, including micro-inverters, central inverters, DC optimized conventional inverters and string inverters. Recently, the world of solar energy has been abuzz with the success of the micro-inverter integrated solar PVs. This article provides a macroscopic view of the design of a solar energy systems and discusses the functioning of micro-inverters from an engineering perspective, especially examining its merits to ascertain if there is any truth to all the hype.
