MICRO-INVERTERS
The Traditional Approach An inverter is a power converter that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). In a solar module installation, the
inverter performs two key functions: it performs the DC to AC conversion, and it optimizes the modules' Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). Traditional solar energy installations deploy a single centralized inverter to convert the DC output from multiple solar modules into AC power.
The Enphase Approach The Enphase Microinverter System is a fully integrated device that converts the DC output of a single solar module into grid-compliant AC power. This integrated system maximizes energy harvest, increases system reliability, and simplifies design, installation and management.
