tier1Inverters sourcing FAQ
QWhen should I use a string vs central inverter?
String inverters (50–350 kW) suit C&I and utility projects with complex layouts, partial shading, or multiple orientations. Central inverters (1–5 MW) win at uniform mega-projects above ~10 MW where simpler topology and lower $/W matter most.
QWhat is a hybrid inverter?
Hybrid inverters integrate solar MPPT, grid interaction, and battery charging in a single unit. They are the dominant residential SKU in Australia, UK, Germany, and South Africa.
QWhat's the typical efficiency of a Chinese tier-1 string inverter?
98.6–99.0% peak (European/CEC weighted). Huawei SUN2000 series and Sungrow SG series are at the top of independent benchmarks.
