There’s a game-changing solar technology out there. It’s a change in how electricity from solar photovoltaics is put to work. It’s a fundamental change in inverters, the devices that convert direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar modules to alternating current (AC) that’s used on the power grid and thus in your home.

The game-changing technology, the micro-inverter, is an inverter that’s attached to each solar module as opposed to a large single inverter for an entire solar electric system. This fundamental change could make it significantly easier to design, build, and monitor solar systems, particularly smaller systems for homes and businesses.
