The Sustainable Boys are certified Enphase installers. This means that when we equip your home with solar panels, we choose the revolutionary Enphase technology. With this, we make your home ready for a sustainable future.
It is good to know the differences between classic inverters and Enphase microinverters. We are also happy to explain the advantages of Enphase microinverters to you.
What is an inverter?
Solar poles can’t do without sun and not without inverters. Inverters convert the direct current collected by solar panels to alternating current, which is necessary for everyday home use. Inverters are the beating heart of your solar power system and determine the output from your solar panels.
Types of inverters
Inverters are available in 3 variants: classic string inverters, classic string inverters with optimizers and Enphase micro-inverters. Micro-inverters work independently of each other resulting in maximum output per panel.
Why mirco inverters?
(1) They provide constant power with no point of failure. If a system with a central inverter fails, solar production stops completely. With one microinverter per module, solar production continues to operate even if a microinverter fails.
(2) They provide maximum power per module. Whether it’s a leaf, dirt, snow or a cloudy day, shadows always recur. Thanks to microinverters, each solar module operates independently, whereas with a central inverter, production is matched to the weakest module.
Enphase system
The Enphase system gets the very best performance from your solar panels and consists of micro-inverters that convert the direct current produced into usable alternating current.
Enphase Envoy is the brains behind the system, constantly collecting, monitoring and communicating with your micro-inverters to ensure the best possible performance. The intelligent system gives you, and The Sustainable Boys as your installer, information about the production of each individual panel and about your energy consumption. Envoy also provides your mirco inverters with updates that are easily installed remotely. In the app, you can always track the status and see consumption.
The benefits of Enphase microinverters
- 10% to 20% more efficiency
- Indefinitely expandable
- 25-year warranty on Enphase solar system
- Parallel circuit
- Intelligent installation (micro-inverters with microchips per panel)
- Never contains high-voltage direct current, but safe AC voltage
- No inverter needed in the building
- Suitable for off-grid continuous production without mains power, battery included
- Expansion to battery is very easy and less costly
The above information shows that Enphase microinverters are the smartest choice in solar energy. As a certified installer, we fully support this. Want to know more or have any questions? Feel free to get in touch!
