Nanoinverter
A nanoinverter, also referred to as a nano inverter or solar nano inverter, converts direct current (DC) from a single solar cell or small solar panel to alternating current (AC).
Advantages[edit]
Nanoinverters have several advantages over microinverters (which are connected to larger than 100-watt solar panels). The main advantage is that, even small amounts of shading, debris or snow lines in any one solar cell, or a smaller panel failure, does not disproportionately reduce the output of an entire larger panel. Each nanoinverter obtains optimum power by performing maximum power point tracking for its connected panel.
Description[edit]
Building Integrated Photo Voltaics[edit]
BIPV modules produce direct current power from range 10 watts to 100 watts.
Integrated circuit-based AC nanoinverter on each module is reported to increase harvest rate by 30% and substantially decrease installation constraints.[1]
Solar Cell[edit]
DC nanoconverter-on-chip is capable of harvesting from microwatts power and as low as 80mV (0.08V) voltage. Harvest rate has been reported to improve 30%-70% with an integrated MPPT and DC-DC booster.[2]
