Should I get a micro grid tie inverter?

Happy Breffast! If your system is at capacity, or getting too many shades, another option is to get panels with a micro grid tie inverter for each of them, that you could just connect to your off-grid AC circuity. That way shades on one panel does not reduce down your whole system production, you don't have to invest on thicker wire for panels.

Are grid tie inverters worth it?

Grid tie inverters are a great cost-saving addition to your home solar system, but they don’t often come cheap. If budget is your primary concern, then you’ll be glad to know there is a trustworthy brand out there with a grid tie inverter just for you. Y&H have produced this micro-inverter to cover conversion of DC power up to 350 watts.

Can a GT inverter control a microinverter?

You must use an off-grid inverter capable of AC coupling and controlling the microinverters. GT inverters don't regulate themselves. They assume an infinite grid in which to dump whatever they can deliver. The grid source inverter must be capable of "frequency shifting" to instruct the GT inverters to reduce/stop output. Happy Breffast!

How do grid tie inverters work?

This process is called Net Metering. Moreover, grid tie inverters are designed so that they need only match the grid’s waveform and voltage, rather than having to match a wide variety of different appliances. (The overall process is made that bit simpler, in other words.)

What is a pure sine wave grid tie inverter?

Pure sine wave grid tie inverters are located between your renewable array and home. The electricity produced by renewable technology is Direct Current (a straight line, going only one way), whereas the grid’s electricity is Alternating Current (a wavy line going both directions).

What is a microinverter inverter?

A microinverter inverter converts the DC output from a single PV module into grid-compliant AC power and is meant to be located near the module.
