Enphase microinverter
 

An Enphase microinverter is a high-performance product with innovative technology. It is the ideal solution for optimising your green electricity production over the long term. Find out more about Enphase Energy microinverters with Planet Soar, an expert in energy transition.
 

How does an Enphase microinverter work?
 

A microinverter plays an essential role in your photovoltaic installation. It converts the energy produced by a solar panel into alternating current to power your electrical appliances. Attached to your panel, it analyses the current emitted by the panel, because this production is not constant. It therefore stores the current and modifies its voltage before feeding it into your electrical installation.

Unlike a central solar inverter, an Enphase microinverter is small in size and can be adapted to any installation, particularly for self-consumption. What's more, this system is more efficient at optimising energy production and has a long lifespan. A microinverter is associated with each solar panel. So if one of the panels is not working properly, the whole installation is not affected. It doesn't come to a standstill. 
 

What are the advantages of Enphase microinverters?

Enphase Energy is the world leader in microinverters. Its products are robust and extremely efficient: 
 

• Innovative technology that guarantees optimised energy production; 
• Tracking the performance of the associated solar panel thanks to a monitoring solution and an application;
• Adapting production to climatic conditions and the presence of shade; 
• High resistance to thermal and electrical stress;
• Guaranteed durability for up to 25 years;
• Ease of installation thanks to wireless technology; 
• The brand's commitment to eco-responsibility.

 

How do I choose the right Enphase microinverter?

The choice of a microinverter should be based on your solar panel. You therefore need to consult the photovoltaic panel's technical data sheet to find out which inverter model it can be used with. This compatibility must be assessed by checking: 
 

• The number of cells in the solar panel; 
• The input voltage at start-up, which can vary depending on shade and temperature; 
• The maximum input current;
• The maximum short-circuit DC current; 
• The maximum MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) voltage.

FAQ

How much does an Enphase microinverter cost?
 

The price of a single Enphase microinverter varies between 125 and 200 euros, depending on the model chosen. At Planet Soar, we offer affordable prices to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy greater energy autonomy. 
 

What is the return on investment with an Enphase microinverter?
 

Enphase microinverters comply with the European EN 50530 standard, which means that they have a high efficiency of at least 96.5%. They are therefore very efficient and guarantee to optimise the energy production of the solar panel.
 

How long does an Enphase microinverter last?
 

Each microinverter is guaranteed for 25 years. However, its lifespan is estimated at 50 years.
 

Are these microinverters compatible with all solar panels?
 

They are compatible with a large number of photovoltaic panels on the market. However, it is important to check the technical characteristics of the panel to ensure that the equipment is compatible.
