Mobile Inverters

What is a Mobile Inverter?

Mobile inverters are like regular inverters. They convert direct current into AC for domestic use. All the household appliances work on AC but the power generated from the Solar Panels is DC. To convert this power to AC Solar inverters or Mobile inverters are used.

The primary application is to convert current but Mobile Inverters have a secondary application. This is the mobility of the inverters to work in remote locations. One inverter can be used with different types of batteries. Inverter can be removed from the battery and installed into different circuits.

Where are Mobile Inverters used?

Mobile Inverters are used in Solar Power production. Installed with the Panels to convert the DC stored power into AC. These inverters can be used for high and low voltages. With Solar Panels installation is done with each panel individually.

Types of Mobile Inverters

Mobile inverters come in two configurations. High frequency Solar inverters and Low frequency Solar Inverters.

• High Frequency Inverters: These inverters are commonly used in the household for low power application. 

• Low Frequency Inverters: LF mobile inverters are big in size to accommodate large transformers inside them. These inverters are used with the motors for high surge. Low frequency inverters can be used with high wattage rating appliances like ACs, refrigerators, and power tools.

How does a Mobile Inverter work?

Mobile inverters are attached to the Solar Panels to work on micro level. These inverets are attached to individual Solar Panels.The DC power is converted into AC at individual Panel level. This makes monitoring of the individual panel  extremely easy.

What are some major brands of Mobile Inverters?

Enphase is making the most advanced Mobile inverters. Some other names are

• Waaree Energies.
• Delta.
• SMA India.
• GoodWe.
• ABB.
• TMEIC.
• Fronius.

Manufacturers

In the simplest terms, manufacturing is the process of producing actual goods or items/products through the use of raw materials, human labour, use of machinery, tools and other processes such as chemical formulation. This process usually starts with product designing and raw material selection, turning them into an actual product output. 

Solar Products Manufacturers and Factories

In terms of solar, manufacturing encompasses the fabrication or production of materials across the solar market chain. The most common product being manufactured by solar companies are the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, which are made with several subcomponents such as solar wafers, cells, glass, back sheets, and frames. Before a solar panel comes into life, it will undergo a lot of processes, from designing, modelling, choosing what raw materials to use and then assembling them all to make the final product.

More Than Just Solar Panels

Aside from the solar panels, solar companies have many other manufactured products that are required to make solar energy systems work smoothly, like solar inverters, batteries, combiner boxes, and racking and tracking structures.

Having a solar manufacturing sector makes a big difference in supplying affordable solar energy in different areas. Aside from maintaining the rising domestic and global demand for cleaner and renewable energy, they also help the economy grow, particularly the solar industry. If you are in search of a reliable solar manufacturing company, checking out our solar outsourcing company, SolarFeeds, would help you get easy access to reliable information, news, data and a list of solar manufacturers that can help you with solar products.

Kenya

Solar Market Outlook in Kenya

There is an ongoing debate in Kenya’s energy sector because of the growing shift towards solar energy. The leading electricity distributor in Kenya has cited a decrease in revenue as more consumers and businesses are shifting towards solar power.

The proponents of solar energy continue to champion the benefits of this renewable energy source and consumers are shifting to solar power generation, which continues to eat further into the traditional electric distributors’ profits. The high cost of electricity and taxes are the primary motivation to consider renewable energy as an alternative source. As of now, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority in Kenya has reported that solar energy accounts for 1% of the country’s current electricity mix. And yet, the country’s location in the equatorial zone means that it has high potential for solar energy. Solar is, therefore, looked at as a viable energy source and as part of the effort to achieve carbon emission goals. Despite having the highest exposure to the sun, Kenya is the most underdeveloped in terms of solar PV capacity. The wider adoption of solar energy will require education and training to succeed. 

Solar Energy Equipment Supply Capacity in Kenya

There is a lack of domestic suppliers and distributors of solar power equipment. They rely on the importation of these supplies from global and online suppliers and distributors. 

Top  Major Seaports & Logistics in Kenya

There are plenty of commercial ports in Kenya wherein solar equipment can be transported. Some of them include

• the Port of Shimoni,
• Kilindini Harbor,
• Port Tudor,
• Port Reitz, Port of Kiunga,
• Port of Lamu,
• Port of Mombasa, 
• Port of Mbaraki.
