A solar micro-inverter, or simply microinverter, is a plug-and-play device used in photovoltaics that converts direct current (DC) generated by a single solar module to alternating current (AC). Microinverters contrast with conventional string and central solar inverters, in which a single inverter is connected to multiple solar panels.
A solar inverter or photovoltaic (PV) inverter is a type of power inverter which converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network.
As every solarpanel and microinverter is a small system of its own, it acts to a certain extent independently. This means that adding one or more panels will just provide more energy, as long as the fused electricity group in a house or building is not exceeding its limits.
Foldable solar panel with AC microinverters can be used to recharge laptops and some electric vehicles. The microinverter concept has been in the solar industry since its inception.
