AVOIDING THE BOTTLENECK EFFECT FOR MAXIMUM RELIABILITY
Our organization develops and markets highly reliable grid-connected solar kits based on Microinverters with monitoring systems that offer an exceptional value proposition for On-Grid solar photovoltaic (PV) installations from top technology companies worldwide.
The Microinverter controls and then converts the DC power from each solar module (or groups of 2 or more) into clean AC power to be supplied to both the connected load and the commercial power grid. Let's summarize the On Grid Microinverters, Pros, and Cons:
Maximized energy harvest.
Improved Safety.
Longer life span and reliability.
Improved monitoring capability.
Simplified PV array design and installation as the solution have been developed as kits.
The monitoring system tracks each PV module through a robust wireless communication system or built-in WIFI, which connects to the internet through a gateway.
Therefore, Microinverters can be controlled individually. Installers and maintenance companies can even monitor systems online, down to the level of individual solar modules, from a web-enabled interface. This allows them to immediately identify the exact location of any fault and solve it quickly, a procedure, as mentioned before, that is uphill and expensive when using On-Grid systems based on central or string inverters.
The picture shows the interconnection of two solar On-Grid solar kits of 1 kilowatt, which are connected in parallel to obtain 2 kilowatts. Every solar On-Grid kit consists of two solar panels of 500 to 550 watts, a 1000-watt Microinverter, and a mounting rack for roofs or floors for the two solar PV modules.
Today, Microinverters with a life expectancy of up to 25 years under real-world conditions (based on accelerated life test data from internationally recognized standards) are widely available, so they would never need to be replaced over the life of the solar panel.
A failure of any Microinverter will not bring down the entire system; it will simply reduce the power output of the total system by 1/N, where N is the number of Microinverters in your On-Grid installation; thereby eliminating the disadvantage of central inverters that, when fail, cause the total drop of the solar system (bottleneck effect).
