Microinverter Comparison Chart
Below is our detailed comparison of the most popular microinverters available in the Australian, European, Asian and US markets. Enphase Energy and APsystems are the most well-known
Microinverters are compact devices installed under each solar panel. It converts the DC electricity generated by each panel into AC electricity. The process involves integrating the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology to guarantee the maximum output of each solar panel.
With microinverters, solar panels have their own inverters and will continue performing efficiently even if one panel isn't producing as much electricity as the others. Microinverters create flexible solutions for many solar installations, but they might not fit everyone's unique needs.
Alternatively, string inverters typically sit more conveniently on the side of your house. Clipping refers to power losses associated with microinverters and is an important consideration when shopping for a solar panel system. Often, the power output rating of your microinverter is lower than that of the panel itself.
The Enphase IQ8M Microinverter stands out as a versatile choice for both grid-tied and off-grid solar PV systems. Designed for 260-460 Watt panels, this UL-listed 240V model (IQ8M-72-2-US) is compatible with battery storage solutions.
