Direct Grid's advanced micro-inverters power the innovative OEM Series and SMART Series of micro-inverters
At the Solar Power International Conference of 2009, Direct Grid Technologies first launched the OEM series and SMART series of micro-inverters for thin-film PV manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) interested in offering turnkey systems. The Buildaroo News Team interviewed Frank about the Direct Grid micro-inverters and our video interview below is definitely worth watching. We also have further details below.
The Direct Grid Technologies OEM series and SMART series micro-inverters are devices that convert direct current (DC) from a single solar module (panel) to alternating current (AC). Unlike central or string inverters that aggregate and convert the power generated by an entire array of solar modules, these micro-inverter convert the DC power from a single solar module to AC. When connected to a central or string inverter, the solar modules are all connected in series. However, when they have micro-inverters, the modules are all connected in parallel.
Direct Grid's SMART Series micro-inverters also incorporate additional communication functionality to enable theft prevention and remote monitoring via a separate web-based user interface or phone application. Both the Direct Grid OEM Series and SMART series micro-inverters offer safeguards in the event of power outages and fire.

Do you have micro inverters that will handle more than one panel. With panels getting down to a dollar per nominal watt, it becomes economically feasible to put panels on rooves with three orientations. (North, East and West) ((I am in the southern hemisphere)) and even out the production of electricity over the day.
Are there any thoughts on building micro-micro inverters into each cell. Think of an electric car, clad in solar cells, no two of which are oriented in the same direction. The present Prius retrofit panel provides about 10km for a day in the sun. Imagine what you would get with each cell cladding a car contributing it's full power to your battery. This will become even more effective with some of the newer panels that they are working on which will utilize a wider range of electromagnetic frequencies. Even a panel "seeing" a clear blue sky would be contributing something.
