Solar Inverter

Inverters are devices that transform the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into the alternating current (AC) required by dwellings. Inverters are divided into three categories: String or centralized inverters are the cheapest inverters, however they can be inefficient. This is because if the roof is shadowed, there is a possibility of production loss. Micro inverters are more expensive, but because they are connected to each solar panel, they enable for smooth operation even when some panels are shaded. Power optimizers, which are installed in each panel, optimize the DC output of each PV module before sending it to a string inverter for AC conversion. They are less expensive than micro inverters but much more expensive than string inverters. Before acquiring an inverter, you should calculate your power requirements. An conventional inverter will not be able to power and run your complete home. If your energy demand is greater than 4000 VA, an inverter alone will not be able to meet your needs. A powerful inverter can most certainly run your refrigerator and air conditioner, but to what extent? Your battery will only last a few hours here. Going forward, high-capacity solar panels are the best option.

Solar inverter types

On the market, there are various types of inverters. They include sine wave inverters, square wave inverters, and stepped sine wave inverters. A sine wave inverter is an inverter that generates a sine wave for the purpose of powering an appliance. On this current output, most appliances can be safely run. A square wave inverter, on the other hand, is also known as a digital inverter. It generates square wave AC, which is insufficient to power all sorts of home equipment that rely solely on a sine wave AC pattern. A humming sound will be produced by some of the devices. Although the gadgets can withstand this, Mitobi Integrated Services does not recommend using this square wave to power your home appliances. Between the two types of inverters is the stepped sine wave inverter. This kind of inverter appears to be a low-cost power option for computers and other electrical devices. Because there are so many different types of solar inverters on the market, finding the perfect one can be difficult. With aggressive marketing, some people can even deceive you. So, before getting into buying, you need an expert to make the right choice for you. Mitobi Integrated Services has the purchasing skills interns of quality and efficiency of inverters that can suit your requirement. With our knowledge of how various inverters converts and supply power to appliances, be rest assured that you get nothing but the best.

Net-metering

If your utility supports net metering, a net meter is an essential component of solar systems that are connected to the grid. If your utility provider allows net metering and you have grid-connected solar, with or without a battery, any solar electricity you don’t consume (or store in your battery) is transferred to the grid. The Mitobi Integrated Services encourages and aids you in acquiring a quality net meter to keep track of how much electricity your solar panels produce and how much electricity you use from the utility. The Mitobi Integrated Services will also explain why a net meter is required for little grid power but not for off-grid power. The Mitobi Integrated Services has kept this knowledge hidden in order to prevent our solar competitors from exploiting it. As a solar system expert, Mitobi Integrated Services provides you with the highest quality net meter that will continue to track your energy usage even if it is wasted without your knowledge.

Monitoring solar performance

The inverter in a solar system is where a solar monitoring system functions. Manufacturers usually include special monitoring software with their inverters. Solar monitoring systems that provide a more detailed analysis of your system’s health and performance are necessary but insufficient. To evaluate the operation of your PV system, the Mitobi Integrated Services recommends installing a monitoring system that will show you how much electricity is generated per hour, per day, or per year. The device can also identify possible performance changes. Solar monitoring systems were developed to assist communities and businesses in getting the most out of their solar systems while also saving money. Mitobi Integrated Services can provide solar monitoring that can give you historical and real-time data on everything from how much electricity your panels produce and how much you use from the grid, to the temperature of your panels and how much shade has an affect on their output, depending on your needs. It can also notify you of system issues that you might otherwise overlook until you receive an unexpectedly high power bill.

Controller for charging

The power from the solar array that goes into the battery bank is managed by a solar charge controller. It keeps the deep cycle batteries from being overcharged throughout the day and stops power from flowing backwards to the solar panels, draining the batteries overnight. Although some charge controllers include other capabilities like lighting and load management, their main purpose is to manage electricity. PWM and MPPT are two different solar charge controller systems. In terms of how they work in a system, they are vastly different. Although an MPPT charge controller costs more than a PWM charge controller, the difference is typically justified. Charge controllers are only used in battery-based solar power systems. Grid-connected systems without batteries do not require a charge controller. Charge controllers are installed between the solar panels and the battery to prevent overcharging and ensure that the battery is charged at the proper voltage level. Overcharging batteries can cause them to catch fire, thus a charge controller is required to keep your battery system safe and long-lasting.

Perhaps you are unaware that your solar equipment requires maintenance in order to produce electricity efficiently and for you to get the most out of what you have spent your hard-earned money on. You have earned the right to enjoy your solar system to its full potential. The Mitobi Integrated Services ensures that you get the most out of  your money spent on your solar system. This is why you need to conduct an energy audit on your solar system. Oh! You have no idea what an energy audit is? Don’t worry, you’ve got Mitobi Integrated Services on your side, and we’re here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An energy audit is an examination and analysis of a building’s energy flows with the goal of conserving energy. It could be a method or system that minimizes energy input while retaining system output. It’s a method of getting the most out of your solar system so you don’t waste money on electricity you don’t need. We are outstanding at what we do at Mitobi integrated Services , which is why we do not buy energy equipment from roadside vendors or markets in Africa. We are linked with the LUMINOUS, Mpower which provide a multi-year warranty on the solar equipment we purchase. As a result, our clients can rest assured that their energy OPM is of the highest quality.
