Most solar installations now use micro-inverters at the panel. It's possible these installations predate micro-inverters.
- brandmeyer 7y agoNot necessarily. Micro-converters to step up from panel DC to a common DC bus, and then inverting from the common DC bus to house's AC bus is much cheaper than going straight from DC to AC at the panel. My house is wired up this way, with individual DC/DC maximum power-point trackers at the panel, and a central inverter.
