What Are Solar Energy Inverters?

Solar panel inverters play the all-important role of converting the DC electricity generated by your solar panels into AC electricity, which is what all of the electrical wires and appliances in your house use. They essentially “translate” energy into a form that can be used to power your entire home.

Types Of Solar Inverters

There are several different types of solar panel inverters, and each has its own pros and cons. When choosing an inverter, it’s important to consider your budget, the shape of your roof, sunlight angles, and various other factors. At Lifetime Solar, we are happy to help guide you through every step of this important process.

String Inverters

In a string inverter system, each panel is wired into a string. Multiple strings join together at a central point, which is usually located on the side of your house, in the basement, or in the garage. They are usually your most affordable option. They’re very durable and easy to repair since they’re in an easily accessible location.

The downside is that if one of your panels experiences a drop in performance (perhaps due to shade), it can affect all other panels’ output on that string.

Microinverters

Microinverters are small inverters placed on each individual panel to maximize energy output. Instead of sending the energy of each panel down to one inverter, microinverters convert the electricity at each panel site on the roof. This means that a little shade in one area won’t affect the output in a big way.

Microinverters are the highest-performing type of inverter. Repairs are best left to a professional solar company due to being located on the roof.

Power Optimizers

Power optimizers combine some of the characteristics of microinverters and string inverters. They are installed next to each panel, but they send energy to a centralized inverter instead of converting it at the panel site.

They are easy to monitor and allow you to mitigate the effects of shade on a single panel. Prices usually range somewhere in between string and microinverter options.
