Check out our article on solar inverters, the linchpin in your rooftop solar system.
There are a few different types of solar panel systems such as grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid. Basically, the difference between them is the amount of reliance on the grid as a backup source of power. A hybrid solar system combines the best features of grid-tied and off-grid systems. They integrate a solar battery for storage …
These days everybody wants to invest in solar energy because of the massive money savings enjoyed by producing your energy. Still, before investing in a solar power system, there is a lot of basic knowledge you need to catch up on to make sure you are getting the correct system for your needs. One essential …
When choosing an inverter for your solar panels, pick the best brands. It enhances the effectiveness of your solar system. A good-quality 5kW single-phase solar inverter costs $1,320 – $2,500. A 3-phase solar inverter costs between $1,900 and $2,300, depending on the quality. While inverters have a 15-year lifespan, but some makes and models are …
No solar panel system can work without an inverter. Inverters have the essential job of converting the direct current (DC) that the panels generate from sunlight into alternating current (AC) that your house uses. There are three types of inverters: power inverters, microinverters, and string inverters. Suppose you opt to use microinverters instead of the …
When you install a solar panel system, choosing the right type of solar inverter will be one of the biggest decisions in your investment. Inverters are used to convert the direct current (DC) energy generated by your solar panels into usable altering current (AC) energy. Microinverter consists of a small box located on the back …
Microinverters convert the DC power from individual solar panels to AC electricity to power your home. A microinverter ensures that each solar panel in your solar system works at its optimum level. Consequently, each solar panel produces the most power it can, and that power all goes into your home solar system. By ensuring that …

Micro-inverters are used for solar panel systems that get partial shading. Micro-inverters come attached to each solar panel and are not bought separately. The best way to cost them is by comparing the per kilowatt price of a central inverter vs microinverters for the same-sized solar panel system. The price of micro inverters is $1.15 …
