Top Benefits of Enphase Micro Inverters for Solar Panels

Enphase Micro Inverters

Your solar system has to work hard every day of the year for 25+ years. It is therefore important to choose a system which not only generates as much electricity as possible but is also safe, remains issue-free and doesn’t cost money to maintain. In this article we look at the Top Benefits of Enphase Micro Inverters for Solar Panel Installations.

Below are the main benefits and is why we at Solaren primarily recommend Enphase for our solar installs:

1. 25-year warranty as standard – Not a marketing gimmick, given because of its unmatched reliability. Compared to 5-12 year on string inverters.

2. Safety – No dangerous DC electricity across roof or in property, eliminating the cause of 96% of solar fires. Rapid shutdown built in automatically.

3. Increased generation - Microinverters start generating earlier and stop later and will

outperform string inverters even on completely due south roofs. They are also the best solution

to combat shading and arrays across multiple roofs, which means more savings on your bills.

4. Highest reliability – 99.95% reliability rate (1 in 2000 chance a microinverter will fail).

5. No single point of failure – A string inverter is the least reliable component on a traditional system and typically needs replacing every 7-10 years. If a string inverter fails the whole system shuts down. Micro inverters split the system at panel level meaning if one panel has an issue the rest of the system keeps working.

6. 24/7 manufacture technical support – lines open 24/7 365 days per year, average wait time <1 minute. Per panel monitoring means most issues can be diagnosed and resolved remotely.

7. Solar is a Long Term investment – Pay slight premium now but far cheaper in the long term with no maintenance costs or inverter replacements 2-3 times during system lifespan

8. Panel level monitoring – Monitor individual panel production. Enphase monitoring includes consumption monitoring, so you can manage your power usage according to your solar generation.

9. Scalable – Can add to the system later without the need to replace components. Many

households add more panels as consumption increases e.g.. buying an electric car.

10. Storage ready - Compatible with all AC coupled batteries
