Talk:Solar inverter

message: We have been researching solar inverter companies for over three years, and have built up a list of 170 solar inverter manufacturers here: ENF PV Inverter Industry Directory
It is not only a list of all the inverter manufacturers around the world - we have also researched the power range they are producing, and whether they are on-grid or off-grid inverters.  I think it is highly relevant to people searching for photovoltaic inverter manufacturers and I would highly appreciate an appropriate link being added.

message: What does this mean:
An inverter designed for grid-tie operation will have anti-islanding protection built in; it will inject small pulses that are slightly out of phase with the AC electrical system in order to cancel any stray resonances that may be present when the grid shuts down.
Out of phase? With a dead grid? Cancel resonances? Huh?  Sounds like uninformed sales-speak here. Now I've got to look at the cited IEEE standard. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed the suggested merge tag to grid tie inverter - not all solar inverters are grid tied, and not all grid tied inverters have solar panels connected. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Restored MPPT section

message: I think the MPPT diagram in its present form is not really helpful.
It shows Umax and Imax but honestly they are just U and I at the maximum power point MPP.
How would one find the MPP?
  o  You would, by experiment, measure the U vs I curve of your PV panel.
     (Alternatively, if your inverter is already in operation, you would vary
      the current a bit to explore the values in the neighbourhood of the present MPP.)
     That is indeed the curve shown in the present diagram, well, the two curves.
  o  You superimpose this diagram with hyperbolas, i.e. U*I curves representing
     various power settings.
  o  You pick the point where your panel's curve touches the hyperbola
     of the highest power setting.  This is the present MPP.
     The MPP moves as the sun changes, including shading, or your PV panels warm up, or
     other changes occur.
What should be changed in the diagram?
Please superimpose at least these hyperbolas, and perhaps indicate "maximum present watts".

thread_title:  The MPPT diagram 

message: There's a basic difference between solar inverters and Solar micro-inverters: The former is connected to a bunch of solar panels (with mppt, anti islanding etc.), whereas the micro inverters are commonly connected to individual panels. Solar micro-inverters will come under the broader category of Solar inverters. Since the article Solar micro-inverter has too much info, I suggest a  section be added in Solar inverter with a main article link to Solar micro-inverter.--Suraj T 06:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging 

message: We need to be using reliable sources. Manufacturers and sellers of solar equipment probably have fairly accurate information on their sites but their neutrality is always questionable. We need third party sources such as technical books and review articles written by independent authors. I know it's more difficult to locate such sources but most of the easy one's that can be found with a quick Google search are most likely from commercial sites that are not appropriate. I have removed the sources that I think do not meet Wikipedia standards and replaced them with Citation needed tags. Jojalozzo 01:47, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: I propose merging Solar micro-inverter and Three-phase micro-inverter and Intelligent hybrid inverter into Solar inverter. I think the content in those articles can easily be explained in the context of Solar inverter, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Solar inverter.Chidgk1 (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Comment in merged article was "The article seems to be made to fit the “example” commercial product." Chidgk1 (talk) 13:27, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I came here exactly for this reason. No it's definitely not neutral and up to WP standards, more like a sales pitch. I will remove it altogether. The number of times these things need to call themselves "smart", "intelligent" and "2.0" smells fishy, it's the disease of this decade. Matthieu Houriet (talk) 10:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
