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.

Egypt

Solar Market Outlook in Egypt

The future is bright for the solar energy sector in Egypt. Until the government took serious steps to promote and expand the renewable energy market in the country, the government budget on electricity subsidies exceeded that which were allotted for healthcare, education, and social welfare. In 2018, the government collaborated with the World Bank to reform the country’s power sector and to invite private investments into the country. 

This helped to facilitate the installation of 6 million solar panels in what is now known as the Benban Solar Park. Installed in the Egyptian desert, it spans a total land area of 36 square kilometers. It spans more than 32 contiguous solar projects in one.

This solar park is set to become known as the world’s largest solar installation with the capability of producing over 2,000 MW of power. If that pushes through, it is capable of lighting thousands of homes and businesses in Egypt.

Solar Energy Equipment Supply Capacity in Egypt

As one of the top proponents of solar energy production in Africa, Egypt leads the way in terms of solar equipment distribution. However, the majority of the solar equipment supplies in the country are from foreign and online suppliers. 

Top Major Seaports & Logistics in Egypt

There are plenty of ports in Egypt that will serve as gateway for the transport of solar power equipment and supplies such as the following:

• Port of Abu Quir,
• Port of Al-Tour,
• Port of Alexandria,
• Port of Tig Marina,
• Ain Sukhna Terminal,
• Port of Adabiya,
• Port of Berenice, 
• Port of Damietta.
