What is an MPPT Inverter? Advantages and Disadvantages?
The Maximum Power Point Tracking inverter, or
MPPT solar inverter, is an inverter that is supposed to work at a point at which maximum power is delivered by solar panels. It sets the electrical operating point of the solar panels to conditions such as sunlight intensity and temperature continuously for the maximum production of power. MPPT inverters are deployed in the field of solar energy systems to ensure better efficiency and overall output of energy.
Benefits of MPPT Inverters
1. Higher Efficiency: MPPT inverters can increase the efficiency in solar energy systems by up to 30% compared to conventional inverters because they will maximize the power extracted from the solar panels.
2. Adaptability: They are highly adaptable with varied weather conditions, hence performing much better on cloudy days or in low-light conditions.
3. Maximum Power Utilization: MPPT inverters ensure solar panels will operate within the best possible voltage and current, which translates to maximum production of power from them.
Disadvantages of MPPT Inverters
1. Higher Cost: Because MPPT technology involves advanced technology and components, MPPT inverters are more expensive compared to the conventional inverters.
2. Complexity: Because it has sophisticated circuitry, it will also be more complex to service or repair, which might result in higher service costs.
3. Heating Issues: The very efficiency of such systems may produce more heat, which must be dissipated by additional means of cooling, particularly in large size systems.
Though costlier and complex than others, MPPT inverters find much favor in solar installations for applications requiring the highest degree of energy output.
