6 FAQs about [Selecting an inverter based on the total annual photovoltaic power generation]

How do I choose a solar inverter?

When designing a solar installation, and selecting the inverter, we must consider how much DC power will be produced by the solar array and how much AC power the inverter is able to output (its power rating).

What is a solar power inverter?

A solar power inverter is an essential element of a photovoltaic system that makes electricity produced by solar panels usable in the home. It is responsible for converting the direct current (DC) output produced by solar panels into alternating current (AC) that can be used by household appliances and can be fed back into the electrical grid.

What is the conversion efficiency of a photovoltaic inverter?

Currently, photovoltaic inverters have a conversion efficiency ranging from 90% to 97%. Specific data should be checked in the datasheet of the target inverter. Horizontal solar radiation refers to the total energy from solar radiation on a horizontal surface at a specific geographic location.

What happens if a solar inverter reaches a maximum power point?

When the DC maximum power point (MPP) of the solar array — or the point at which the solar array is generating the most amount of energy — is greater than the inverter’s power rating, the “extra” power generated by the array is “clipped” by the inverter to ensure it’s operating within its capabilities.

How does a solar power inverter work?

As you likely know, solar cells produce direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) electricity by a solar power inverter. Converting energy from DC to AC allows you to deliver it to the grid or use it to power buildings, both of which operate with AC electricity.

What is a solar microinverter?

A microinverter is a device that converts the DC output of solar modules into AC that can be used by the home. As the name suggests, they are smaller than the typical solar power inverter, coming in at about the size of a WiFi router. Microinverters are usually placed under each solar panel, in a ratio of one microinverter for every 1-4 panels.
