4 FAQs about Micro inverter explosion period

What happens if a microinverter goes bad?

If something is wrong with one microinverter, only the panel attached to it will shut down instead of the entire system. Diagnosing and fixing issues with microinverters is often quicker than with central string inverters. Microinverters can easily grow with your solar panel system over the years.

How do microinverters work?

Microinverters convert the electricity from your solar panels into usable electricity. Unlike centralized string inverters, which are typically responsible for an entire solar panel system, microinverters are installed at the individual solar panel site.

How efficient is a microinverter?

An inverter's efficiency measures energy losses during the conversion from DC to AC electricity. The more efficient the microinverter, the more solar electricity production. Efficiency ratings are often measured under ideal conditions, but things like climate and weather contribute to a microinverter’s actual efficiency.

What causes inverter failure?

The most inverter’s failures occurred due to a defect in the software/firmware that is caused by unexpected risk or transient condition. The thermal run away of the IGBT and the cooling fans malfunctions which lead to increasing for both heatsink and junction temperatures.
