String Inverter

A string inverter converts power from panels wired in series ("strings") at a single central point — the standard architecture for Indian rooftops from 3 kW homes to megawatt plants, prized for cost and serviceability.

Because panels in a string are electrically linked, shading one panel drags down the string; MPPT inputs and module-level optimisers mitigate this. For unshaded Indian roofs, a quality string inverter is almost always the right economic choice.
