to last
With a reduced number of components and its unique thermal management, the Solarnative Power Stick is perhaps the most reliable and durable micro-inveter in the market.
Reduced component failures
The Solarnative Power Stick micro-inverter is built for unprecedented reliability. Because each component has a certain probability of failure, product failure rates are closely linked to the number of components in the product. Therefore, our goal was to reduce the component count drastically. Compared to competitors, we only use half the number of components in our micro-inverter. This is achieved, for example, through the use of special ASIC chips that combine the functions of various components and thus bring greater reliability. Moreover, we focus on the quality of our components: whenever possible, we use highly reliable automotive qualified components of particularly high grade.
Relaxed remote access
While we are doing everything possible to avoid problems and failures, we want to make life easy for installers in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. Therefore, our system can be monitored and maintained remotely. All software settings can be configured over-the-air, and regular firmware updates ensure optimal performance.
Unique thermal management
The failure rates of most electronic components increase exponentially with a rising temperature. Vice versa, a temperature reduction of 10 °C leads to a doubling of lifetime. Knowing this correlation, we pushed the thermal design of our micro-inverter to the limits: every little feature is designed to reduce temperature inside the inverter and to facilitate the heat flow out of the device. With its characteristic linear shape and aluminum housing our inverter is designed for almost perfect heat dissipation.
Module frame as cooling fin
By means of our unique high-frequency technology, we were able to miniaturize our inverter to a size that fits nicely into the frame of the PV module. Thanks to the inverter’s flat surface, the frame acts as a cooling fin.
When installing the inverter on the mounting structure, the thermal connection to the rail can support the product’s inherent cooling mechanism.
