Innovations in string inverters, microinverters and power optimizers

Given their potential to result in higher overall yield for the solar power plants, both string and micro-inverters are being increasingly used even in large, utility scale solar PV power plants, and so are power optimizers at module level. Innovations in these equipment to reduce their costs, increase their robustness and lifetimes will enable power plant owners to use these technologies without having to be concerned about higher maintenance costs for these.
