What does Microinverter mean?
A microinverter is a small inverter mounted at or near an individual solar module that converts that module’s DC output into AC power.
How does a microinverter work in a solar system?
Microinverters perform DC-to-AC conversion at the module level. This can provide module-level control and visibility, but it also means each module has its own AC output limit and, in storage applications, may require additional conversion steps before energy can be stored in a battery.
