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

Wholesalers

Solar Products Wholesalers 

Wholesaling refers to buying some products or goods directly from its manufacturer usually at a discount and then reselling it to the retailers for a comparatively higher cost than the original. Basically, wholesalers handle products and package them in small quantities and then sell them to retail customers, either for commercial or personal use. 

Many industries have wholesalers, and that will not skip the solar industries. Nowadays, many solar wholesale stores/firms are operating across the globe, making it much easier for retailers to go solar. Sometimes retailers find it hard to reach direct manufacturers of solar products because some companies do not have their solar stores/shops in public, with that they are not also offering solar products per piece. Through wholesale solar stores/shops, these individuals can easily buy the solar products that they need to replace or maintain their solar systems. 

If you are in need of solar product suppliers for an individual purpose, you may visit some solar outsourcing marketplace to get an updated list of solar wholesalers near your location.

Japan

An outline of Japan’s overall solar market performance

Japan is the world’s 3rd largest economy. Logically, anyone would expect it to be a global powerhouse in matters concerning solar energy. Reports show that the global solar market continues to grow steadily despite the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020 alone, the global solar capacity stood at approximately 7,604 Gigawatts. What contribution does Japan’s solar market contribute to the total solar production capacity?

Japan’s overall solar market size and production capacity

According to a recent study, Japan ranks 5th  with a solar installation capacity of approximately 82 Gigawatts per year. As a solar installer or industry professional, you must admit that this is an overwhelming achievement especially considering Covid-19 disruptions. Still, Japan’s solar capacity is most likely to improve owing to several factors, including

• Implementation of favorable policies and regulatory frameworks
• Significant contracts and collaborations extended by the Japanese government to local and foreign players in the solar sector
• Good financial support frameworks.

At the moment, Japan is home to some of the world’s leading solar product producers and distributors. That said, it is pretty easy to import or export various categories of solar products to and from the Japanese solar market. The Japanese government has passed favorable regulations and invested heavily in infrastructure, including ports and reliable transport networks. Some major Japanese ports that are worth mentioning include Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe.
