Microinverters Explained! Ownsenergy

Microinverters have several advantages over traditional string inverters, including:
Safety
Microinverters eliminate the need for high voltage DC wiring, which can reduce the risk of electrical fires by about 96%. They also have module-level shutdown and fault arc detection.
Individual panel monitoring
Microinverters allow you to monitor each panel's performance individually, so you can identify and address issues immediately.
Increased generation
Microinverters can yield more electricity from your solar panel system.
Reliability
Microinverters are reliable because they have no moving parts, which means they run cooler and quieter than string inverters. They're also encased in a dense polymer housing that's resistant to corrosion, waterproof, and dust proof.
Longer lifespan
Microinverters typically last around 25 years, which is longer than the 10-12 year lifespan of string inverters.
Scalability
Microinverters are modular, so you can easily add more panels to your existing system over time.
Design flexibility
Microinverters allow for more flexible system designs.
Silent
Microinverters dissipate less heat than central inverters, so they don't require active cooling and operate without noise.
