I've been researching micro inverters for my solar panels and love the idea of converting the dc to ac at the module itself, but the prices are outrageous
What would be the difference in purchasing a 20 dollar cigarette lighter type inverter rated at or above my panels watt rating as opposed to shelling out 200-300 bucks each? Solar is SO overpriced.
Most I've seen rated at 100 Watts (compatable with my panel @84 Watts). My panel produces (like someone said; On one day in the middle of summer, between 12 and 1:30 pm.) 3.5 Amps.
I'm not planning on running any load, will convert it back to dc at the controller. Long distance location (100 ft. or so) for the modules.
I've posted generic pictures of one I found along with the info.
