Status review of Indonesia’s solar market
Indonesia is a signatory to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Climate Agreement. One would easily assume that the nation’s solar market is performing well, considering its government’s dedication to renewable energy. Unfortunately, Indonesia’s solar market has not lived up to its exponential potential.
The nation’s solar capacity stood at approximately 11.5% of the total energy production and supply at the end of 2020. Even though Indonesia’s solar market outlook is pretty bleak, there is hope for the future. A recent IRENA report reveals that the Indonesian market can attain a capacity of 47 Gigawatts by 2030.
IRENA’s report predicts that the Indonesian solar market is likely to grow at the utility-scale. This means that residential and commercial photovoltaic systems will substitute traditional power generation. If this report is anything to go by, there are many opportunities for solar installers and professionals in Indonesia.
Indonesia’s solar equipment production and supply aptitude
As I mentioned earlier, the Indonesian solar market has not realized its full potential. Even though the market is still young, it enjoys a substantial presence of local and foreign solar equipment producers and suppliers. The nation also boasts several sea ports and logistical infrastructure that allow you to import solar equipment if the need arises. It is wise to find a reliable partner that can provide everything you need at desirable prices and quality.

Microinverter
What is a Microinverter?
A Microinverter or a Solar micro-inverter is an extremely small device used to convert DC to AC. These inverters are so small that they are used as plug-and-play. Microinverters work remotely with every panel. This is advantageous in case of panel failure or power surge.
These inverters work on every power output from the panels and if there are inconsistencies rectification can be done without hindering the performance of all the other panels.
Where are Microinverters used?
Microinverters find their application in Solar Roofs for domestic use. These microinverters monitor the performance of every panel and convert DC to AC. A micro inverter is best used with small Solar roofs with limited spaces.
Microinverters help the Solar system to overcome difficulties like shading, dust, sunlight blocking, and many more difficulties.
Advantages of Microinverter
The biggest advantage of the Solar Microinverter is the compact size. For high power output, bulky inverters are required, but to convert a very small level of DC from panels requires small compact Microinverters.
- Microinverters are connected to the arrays and panels to get the maximum performance from the system.
- Maintenance is easy simple replacement and connection of plug and play devices.
- Can be used with apps and network
- Each panel output can be monitored throughout the day
- The performance of the adjacent panels is not affected due to the malfunction of one panel.
How does a Microinverter work?
Microinverters are manufactured to operate in the range 190 and 220 W. Micro Inverter converter DC to AC at the panel level. Microinverters are preferred over string inverters and can have a warranty of up 15 to 25 years.
What are some major brands of Microinverter?
Emphasis is the leading brand of Solar Micro Inverters. Some of the other big brand names are:
- SolarBridge Technologies/SunPower
- Advanced Energy Industries
- Petra Systems
- Chilicon Power
