AC Solar Panels What are AC solar panels? All solar panels generate DC power. An AC solar panel is the combination of a solar panel with a pre-installed DC to AC inverter. These inverters are referred to as micro-inverters. They come either pre-installed on a solar panel or are attached to the solar panel on the job site during installation. Because each AC panel is equipped with its own micro-inverter, the disadvantage of voltage drop affecting entire solar array, as it does in centralized inverter systems, is eliminated. Each solar panel can work independently to produce its maximum power in all conditions. The disadvantage of possible higher initial cost is offset by increased power production from the same modules over time and the ability to monitor output at a single module level. What does the future hold? More manufacturers will produce solar panels with pre-installed micro-inverters giving end users more control and monitoring of their solar investment. Solar panel installation cost will go down with the simplicity of plug and play solar panel micro-inverter systems. Lower installation costs will further push the cost of solar down allowing for deeper market penetration. Current standard DC solar panels will become a specialty item It Is a Better Solution Until now, PV system installers had to make use of the technology of first generation micro inverters. Canadian Solar brings new technology and peace of mind with the introduction of the AC Residential Module. The integrated AC Module takes the highly reliable Canadian Solar PV module and combines it with the next generation AC Micro Inverter. The Canadian Solar AC Micro Inverter was designed from the ground up and addresses ALL of the issues of the current first generation AC micro inverters that concerned installers most. The Canadian Solar Residential AC product provides a revolutionary combination of high efficiency, high reliability, and panel level DC to AC power conversion, enabling deployment on any residential home imaginable. canadiansolar/en/products/new-product-announcements/ wholesalesolar/AC-solar-panels.html
