When considering a solar energy system for your home or business, one of the key decisions is choosing between micro inverters and string inverters. Each has its advantages and considerations. Let's compare the two to help you make an informed choice.
Micro Inverters:

• Individual Panel Control: Micro inverters are installed on each solar panel, allowing for individual panel control. This means that shading or issues with one panel won't affect the entire system.
  
• Optimal Performance: Micro inverters optimize the performance of each panel, ensuring that they operate at their maximum efficiency.
  
• Monitoring: They come with built-in monitoring systems that provide real-time data on the performance of each panel.
  
• Scalability: Micro inverters offer easy scalability, making it straightforward to add more panels to your system if needed.
  
• Safety: They are considered safer due to their lower voltage DC wiring.
  
  

String Inverters:

• Cost-Effective: String inverters are often more cost-effective for smaller installations.
  
• Simplicity: They are simpler to install and require less maintenance.
  
• Efficiency: While micro inverters are highly efficient at the panel level, string inverters may be slightly more efficient at converting DC to AC power across the entire system.
  
  

Choosing between micro inverters and string inverters depends on factors like your system size, shading conditions, and budget. At Jiajiu, we offer both micro and string inverters to meet various needs.
