Make the switch to renewable energy today and get the power you need to manage your home and run your business. Malaysia Solar Power offers an impressive range of solar panel units in Malaysia for residential and commercial use. Save on utilities and improve your way of living with the right solar system in Malaysia.
While all devices and electric grids running on electricity use AC; therefore, it’s imperative you switch the solar power being generated through your system with an inverter.
Here’s what an inverter exactly does.
It’s a device that converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternate Current (AC) primarily to run common-size appliances in your house.
So, let’s explore the different types of inverters so you can choose what suits you the best.
Central Inverter
Commonly used in large-scale appliances, a central inverter offers higher efficiency and is easier to install when compared to a small string inverter. However, it costs high and usually comes with a five-year warranty. You can also go with the extended warranty (up to 20 years instead of the usual 5-year warranty) period should you like.
String Inverter
This most commonly used inverter usually offers a lower initial cost because you can easily install it.
How it’s easy to install?
The string inverter has the capability to accept DC input from multiple panels and doesn’t require you to install it directly adjacent to individual panels. Due to this, you can easily install this type of inverter. However, troubleshooting it is a rather difficult endeavor here.
The only downside of this inverter is that since it treats the group of panels as a single large panel, problems in one panel mean you’d need to check the entire string. This implies, if one or two panels cause poor performance due to the string issue, the remaining panels suffer an equivalent output loss.
Furthermore, large inverters take up significant space.
Micro Inverter
Coming with a 15-year warranty, microinverters are your best deal when it comes to obtaining high efficiency and reliability to generate more power.
This type of inverter uses power point tracking which means that a problem in one panel or a hindrance for sun exposure at any point doesn’t impact the rest of the panels. That’s what makes them more reliable than string inverters.
Furthermore, they are easy to fix; however, are most complex and costly to install.
