Introduction
As the world looks to renewable energy sources to supplement and in some cases replace traditional fossil fuel methods solar power has taken the reigns as one of the most accessed alternative energy sources. Micro inverters sit at the heart of any solar power system and ensure that solar panels are operating at maximum efficiency. This blog will allow us to delve into the world of the micro inverter system; what its purpose is, how it benefits us and what it means for solar power.

Understanding micro inverter systems
The solar cell is where the solar power all begins or starts. The solar cell works by turning the sunlight into actual electricity with both some wasted energy and the inverter helps to remedy that or fix it. There is usually one inverter for every solar panel and it helps convert the DC (direct current) electricity which is the type of electricity sun panels create, into something that is a bit easier to use within our homes and businesses, which is AC (alternating current). Although, having a micro inverter system is a totally new way of harnessing and mostly, using some solar power
The role of micro inverter systems
Micro-inverters work individually with each module in your array. Standard string inverters typically are connected to multiple solar panels and can suffer from decreases in efficiency if one or more panels are shaded, the inverter only converts power from what is being produced by the entire string, if one shade reduces the whole system energy production is reduced. So if you have six micro-inverters and one panel is shaded then you still have 5 optimized panels producing electricity, you would have no shading errors as in a string system.Demonstration in the video is given below:
Key benefits of micro inverter systems
By using a micro inverter system instead of the traditional string inverter you get several key benefits. The chief advantage comes in the way that the system can individually optimize each solar panel, maximizing the energy production from your array. Even a small amount of shading can have a huge impact on the performance of a fully-connected solar system; a micro inverter system bypasses this. Consequently, a system with micro inverters has a higher overall efficiency and will put more power in the grid over its lifetime than a string inverter system. Micro inverter systems are also highly scalable and can be easily added to as the customer requires.
The impact of micro inverter systems
The adoption of micro inverter systems could have a huge impact on the world of solar power, as it looks towards being more efficient and a reliable solution. Micro inverters are an important part of our vision of the future, as a sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure. In addition, the availability and the affordability of the micro inverter system will drive further solar power adoption around the world, closer to a renewable and resilient future.
Conclusion
The world of the solar micro inverter system is one that is sure to shape the future of solar power. Ensuring that the solar power that comes out of our solar cells is as efficient as it can be. It is also fair to say that micro inverter systems have their part to play in enacting our hope for a more sustainable and more efficient energy landscape. A future that presents higher availability along with a decreased cost of micro inverter technology drives an increase in solar power adoption on both a commercial and residential scale.
