A microgrid is a local energy grid that can operate independently or in conjunction with the traditional power grid. It is comprised of multiple distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, wind turbines, energy storage systems, and traditional generators, that can generate, store, and distribute energy within a defined geographic area.
READ MOREThus, for the system to work, the grid should be working as well. The grid-tie solar system is composed basically of an energy (net) meter, one or multiple inverters, and solar panels. Solar panels, usually installed on a rooftop or open space, convert rays from the sun into direct current electricity through the photovoltaic process.
READ MOREAdditionally, micro inverters are grid-tied, meaning they can easily connect to the electrical grid, enabling users to feed excess energy back into the grid and receive credits or compensation. Overall, by utilizing micro inverters, you can maximize the efficiency and scalability of your solar panel system, paving the way for a more

That''s what we mean when we say "always on," and it can help solve problems like those in Puerto Rico, other island nations, and countries with shaky grids.
READ MOREOn the contrary, microinverters are connected to each solar module and are usually mounted on the racking system. Traditional inverters are bigger and bulkier, making them difficult to carry and install. Microinverters are much smaller, slightly larger than the junction box on a solar panel, and weigh around 2-4 lbs.
