Speaking at the TaiyangNews Virtual Conference on Distributed Solar & Storage 2023, Solarnative CEO Julian Mattheis talked about the power of microinverters enabling new applications like balcony/plug-in solar or solar fences. He said its new product can turn every single solar module into an AC panel, giving it a plug-and-play feature, thus making installations easier. The Solarnative microinverters work as an individual inverter in the form of a power stick, controlling each panel independently and can be fitted into the module frame (see Compact Micro-Inverter From Solarnative). This feature helps bring down the cost of an installation. Mattheis also said this can solve the problems installers face which he sees as a major bottleneck for Germany to grow its solar capacity. Solarnative, a German start-up, is currently ramping up its first manufacturing facility close to Frankfurt/Main in Germany. To watch Julian's presentation click on the photo.
