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

OEM

Custom Made Solar Products OEM

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer which is commonly referred to as a company that manufactures and offers parts and accessories of items that are used as components of a product from another company. To sum it up, OEM commonly manufactures specific items on behalf of brands. Though OEM typically operates in the computer and technology industries, it also works in the solar industry.

Factories for White Label Solar Products

In the case of the solar industry, most solar companies work with solar OEMs to build and design their own solar products such as solar panels, cells, modules, etc. OEM becomes their outsourcing partner that helps them in assembling and reproducing their solar products.

Nowadays, a huge number of solar companies, particularly those large solar manufacturing companies, are partnering with outstanding solar OEMs to deliver the best quality solar products to their solar customers. Mainly, the reason is, these solar OEMs help solar manufacturers cut down their production costs since they no longer have to operate their own factories, purchase needed materials and hire labour to produce their solar products.

As a solar manufacturing company, the first thing you need to consider is to find the most reliable solar OEM in the market. One of the biggest perks of the internet these days is you can now easily find these OEMs even in the comfort of your home. With the help of a solar outsourcing marketplace such as SolarFeeds.com, you can easily find the most reliable and right OEM partner for your solar company. Solar outsourcing marketplace helps solar industry professionals gather accurate and timely information about solar including the list of most trusted Solar Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Armenia

Solar Market Outlook in Armenia

The solar market industry in Armenia is strong and has showcased consistent growth over the past decade or so. In 2014, the government launched the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program for Armenia (SREP Armenia) as part of its commitment to promote renewable energy sources. 

This new program serves as an update to the Renewable Energy Roadmap that was launched in 2011. It specifies the targets for the deployment of renewable energy infrastructure in response to the aging conventional energy infrastructure in the country. At the same time, the government wanted to boost the country’s energy security, while also lowering the risk for potential renewable energy investors.

The target for the Armenian government is to achieve 26% of total power generation in the country from renewable sources. When it comes to the solar power market, it has been given a boost by the widespread use of solar farms. In 2019, the first micro solar farm was installed in Armenia and it produced one MW of power with the capacity to be expanded with an additional 0.5 MW of solar power. This solar farm paved the way for more solar installations in the country while also providing more jobs to the locals.

Solar Energy Equipment Supply Capacity in Armenia

There are plenty of solar panel and equipment manufacturers in Armenia, providing a variety of options for consumers and businesses looking to switch to solar power. There is also access to many other distributors and suppliers in neighboring European countries.

Top 8 Major Seaports & Logistics in Armenia

Ports are vital to the economy of Armenia since this is one of the ways that goods are traded and transported in and out of the country. The same goes for solar power equipment. 

There are a few seaports available in Armenia for transporting solar equipment namely

• Abovyan,
• Ararat,
• Masis,
• Yerevan,
• Hrazdan, 
• Kajaran.
