Is Europe ready for micro-inverters?

Why Europe is ready for micro-inverters

Are we Europeans missing out when it comes to PV systems?

In Ger­many and Europe, string invert­ers are still installed in most res­i­den­tial rooftop sys­tems. How­ev­er, there are more mod­ern solu­tions that enable high­er ener­gy yields while elim­i­nat­ing the dan­gers of a con­ven­tion­al PV sys­tem: micro-invert­ers. In the USA, these have long been the stan­dard due to stricter secu­ri­ty require­ments. The cur­rent issue of PES Solar/PV dis­cuss­es the advan­tages of micro-invert­ers com­pared to string invert­ers and explains in sim­ple terms why a par­a­digm shift is long over­due in Europe.
