4 FAQs about London Microinverter Agent

What is a microinverter used for?

What is a Microinverter? A microinverter is a type of inverter used in photovoltaic (PV) solar systems to convert direct current (DC) electricity from individual solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used by your home appliances or exported to the grid.

Can a microinverter replace a string inverter?

They can replace the traditional string inverter, a single product that's connected to every solar panel in a system but treats them as one entity. With microinverters, one shaded or malfunctioning panel doesn't have to reduce the entire system's output – just the output of that panel.

Do solar panels need a microinverter?

Unlike traditional string inverters, which convert the combined DC output of multiple panels, a microinverter is installed on each solar panel, enabling independent power conversion. This offers significant advantages, particularly in terms of system performance, safety, and monitoring.

How do microinverters work?

Microinverters are small boxes that an installer will fix to your mounting brackets, before connecting their AC cables to your consumer unit (also known as a fuse box), which is linked to all your home appliances. The microinverters' DC cables are then connected to your solar panels.
