The main difference between a micro inverter vs string inverter is the performance. The central inverters link all the solar panels in a chain that attaches to a single inverter, while the micro inverters link to one panel at a time.Micro inverters have the advantage of allowing every panel to work independently, facilitating close monitoring of how each performs. On the other hand, the string inverter lets all the panels work as a team, and any hiccup affects the entire system.However, its advantage over micro inverters is that it is cheaper and easier to install and maintain.

Inverter plays an important conversion role in the solar system, it needs to convert the DC generated by the solar system to AC used by home. Generally speaking, string inverter can connect PV panels in series and parallel to form a PV array, then convert DC into AC and connected to the grid.Micro inverter also convert DC to AC, but the difference is that a micro inverter is installed after each PV module, and the module level conversion efficiency is much higher than that of conventional inverters.

Solar micro inverter is an inverter designed to connect with a single PV module. It is a device that directly converts the DC generated by each module into AC and then connects to the grid. The main advantage of micro-inverter is that each module can be independently controlled by MPPT function(Maximum Power Point Tracking), which will greatly improve the overall production efficiency.

It can be running without batteries, energy share from utility and solar to loads alternatively.Without batteries, it can help to reduce the whole solar system cost and more importantly it can save electricity fee.It combines a high PV input MPPT controller, it can convert solar energy form PV to loads directly and the same time the remaining solar energy converted to batteries.When PV output is reduces by clouds or at night, resulting in no surplus PV power available, loads powered by utility and batteries is charged, when utility outage, batteries discharged.Off grid solar system running without battery can help to reduce the cost and save electricity fee, energy share from utility and solar to loads alternatively.

Hybrid inverters are advanced inverters that can operate in different modes depending on household power consumption and backup power requirements. Much like regular solar (string) inverters, hybrid inverters convert solar DC power from strings of solar panels to AC power used to power your home. Any excess solar energy is then used to charge a connected battery system. To manage the power flow, hybrid inverters require an external energy meter (often called a CT meter) to measure the household power use and determine when excess power is available to charge the battery. The meter also provides load data so the inverter can discharge the battery to power the household loads when required.

A hybrid inverter is a device that is created by combining a solar inverter and a battery inverter into a single unit.This allows the hybrid solar inverter to intelligently handle power coming from your solar panels,solar batteries,and the electrical grid all at the same time.
