A micro inverter is an inverter designed to be attached to, or on the railing behind, one or two solar panels at the array. As opposed to a string inverter which is usually attached to a wall some distance from the array. Being attached to an individual panel means that a panel works independently from the rest of the array, and DC power is converter to AC immediately.
Advantages:
- Allows all panels to output their maximum power, and not be brought down by neighbouring panels
- Longer Warranty
- No single point of failure
