What is the difference between SolarMagic power optimizers and microinverters?
Solar arrays produce DC power that must be converted into AC (alternating current) power. A traditional array will have one large inverter to do the job. SolarMagic power optimizers operate in the DC domain, prior to the system’s inverter. Microinverters convert DC power to AC power at the panel. SolarMagic power optimizers provide flexibility in both existing and future installations. When retrofitting existing installations, SolarMagic power optimizers are simple to install – no rewiring or redesign is required. Simply de-energize the system, mount and plug in the SolarMagic power optimizers using existing wiring, and re-energize! Microinverters require system redesign and rewiring in retrofits – making the retrofit far more time consuming and costly. SolarMagic power optimizers provide flexibility in newly designed and built systems. Effects of real-world conditions are easy to design for, using SolarMagic power optimizers.
