Microinverter

A microinverter is a term used in the electronics and power industry to refer to a small electronic device or circuit that is used to transfer electrical energy between different devices or components in an electrical network. Microinverters are designed to provide efficient and controlled power transfer within a system.

These devices are commonly used in solar and photovoltaic systems, where they are used to optimise the transfer of energy from solar panels to the grid or to batteries. Microgrids allow the voltage, current and frequency of the electricity to be monitored and controlled, enabling maximum efficiency and safety of the transfer.

Microinverters have the advantage of allowing each solar panel to operate independently of the other panels. This independence of the panels is very useful in cases where there is partial shading of individual panels. This means that one shaded panel does not affect the performance of the other panels that are connected in series, which is often the case when using conventional inverters.
