Solar systems with microinverters
A solar system with microinverters is an optimal choice if you need to accommodate panels facing different directions or installed at different angles. It can also drastically improve the performance of your system in case of shading issues. With a string inverter, a single affected solar panel can take down the whole string. Solar microinverter systems, on the other hand, have an individual inverter for each module in the array.
The pros and cons of a solar system with microinverters
A cheaper alternative to microinverters is a central string inverter. These are two fundamentally different approaches. And while solar systems with microinverters cost more, in the long run they can be more cost-efficient. Let’s look at the main strengths of such systems:
- No single point of failure. Each microinverter-panel pair is a mini system in and of itself
- Expandability. With microinverter solar panel systems, adding extra capacity is a breeze
- Module-level monitoring. String inverters allow tracking the performance of each panel individually, while string inverters only track the performance of the whole system
- Better warranties. A typical warranty for a string inverter is 8 to 12 years, while microinverters have 25-year warranties
- More power. In a string, the current is reduced to that of the panel with the poorest performance. In microinverter-based systems, all panels produce at their top capacity
- Shading protection. With microinverters, a single affected panel won’t reduce the output of the whole string
Solar microinverter systems have numerous advantages, but they are not perfect. These are the things you should be aware of before making a decision:
- A 5 kW system based on microinverters could be about $1,000 more expensive compared to a system with a string inverter
- Since all your inverters will be up on the roof, solar system with microinverters could be harder to service
