What is so great about Micro Inverters? Enphase Energy micro inverters do all of the inverting of power at the solar panel level - DC power going in and AC power coming out. Another big benefit is panel-level monitoring. You'll be able to remotely see which panel is not producing and trouble-shoot your system much easier. In addition, if one panel is having production issues, it will not affect the rest of the panels in your system, like a string inverter system would. In other words, if one panel is shaded, it won't negatively impact the output of the other panels. And micro inverters - because of the way they are designed - automatically fulfill 2014 and 2017 NEC Rapid Shutdown requirements, as when the grid goes down, the micro inverter automatically shuts off. Ease of installation with a micro inverter translates into labor savings on the job. They simply are attached to the racking right behind each solar panel, and connected together via Enphase cables. You have the option of choosing landscape or portrait orientation. Lastly, in terms of expandability, micro inverters give you the greatest flexibility, if you find you need to add more power to your solar power system down the road. You simply add another panel/micro to the system - voila!

*About System Grounding:

Electrical code requires two types of grounding conductors: the Grounding Electrode Conductor (GEC), which is used between the grounding electrode and the point where a normally current carrying conductor is intentionally bonded to ground, and the Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC), which grounds noncurrent carrying metal parts of the system, such as the racking and module frames. Because Enphase Microinverters with Integrated Ground have DC integrated ground (the DC circuit is isolated and insulated from ground), they do not require a GEC. Additionally, the Equipment Ground requirement is met for the microinverter because the ground conductor (the green wire internal to the Engage Cable) acts as the EGC.
