There are a variety of microinverters on the market, however the Enphase Microinverter offers a number of unique advantages. We have clients all over the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury who have chosen the Enphase technology for the benefits it offers over traditional inverters.

One of the most significant of these is that it provides your system with stability and reliability by enabling each of your panels to work independently. This means that if the performance of one panel is compromised, the rest of the system will still continue to work to capacity.

This is different to a traditional string inverter. As the name implies, a string inverter treats a group of panels as if it were one large panel strung together. The downside of a string inverter is that your solar system will always perform at the strength of the worst performing panel. This means that any problems with one or two of panels cause poor performance across the entire string.

And these problems don’t need to be complex – they’re often as simple as shade, bird droppings, dust, shadows from chimneys or other structures, and even power lines – and all in abundance in the Blue Mountains! But they can have a large impact. It’s not only the affected panel that suffers an output loss – it’s all of the panels in that string. The result? Your panels just aren’t working at capacity.

But with the Enphase Microinverter, the majority of your system will remain operational in the unlikely event that something does go wrong with one panel or microinverter.
