COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT INVERTERS
The Evolution of the Solar Inverter
Solar inverters convert direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) used in homes. Early inverters were simple with minimal monitoring, and panels operated in series based on the lowest-performing panel.
Modern “string” systems have improved, but “optimised” systems like SolarEdge offer significant advancements. SolarEdge inverters, paired with optimisers on each panel, ensure maximum power generation and up to 25% more efficiency. These systems also enable detailed performance monitoring, a service provided free by Solarpro.
Enphase microinverters achieve similar benefits by placing a small inverter on each panel. SolarEdge further innovates with device control for home appliances and the world’s first EV charging solar inverter.
Comparisons of these systems highlight ongoing evolution and innovation in solar technology.
