How does grid feed-in work?

Grid feed-in is a process in which the electricity generated is fed directly from the solar module and the appropriate inverter into the public power grid. Ideally, the inverter is installed near the solar modules and connected to them via solar connectors. Regardless of the system size, the solar system must be registered in the Market Master Data Register in accordance with legal regulations.

LECO N-TOPCon Cell Technology

The advanced TOPCon technology (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is a further development of PERC technology aimed at increasing solar cell efficiency. It is enhanced by Low Efficiency Cell Optimization (LECO), which improves overall cell performance, especially under suboptimal light conditions. The manufacturing process includes an ultra-thin oxide layer and a subsequent conductive layer, creating a passivated contact. This not only improves low-light performance but also contributes to higher annual energy yields.

Additionally, the combination of TOPCon and bifacial technology allows for even greater efficiency, as the cells can capture 15% more reflected light. These synergistic effects significantly boost energy output, making these solar cells an excellent choice for modern photovoltaic applications.

Why a string inverter: Solar module performance varies with temperature, irradiation, and shading, causing mismatch losses. These losses occur when the output of one panel in a string drops, affecting the entire string. A string inverter helps reduce these losses.
Maximum Power Point Tracking: MPPT technology ensures the best possible yield of a solar system by optimizing the voltage-current ratio based on sunlight and module temperature. The MIC inverter’s wide MPPT voltage range allows for the connection of many modules and ensures efficient energy harvesting, especially when light conditions constantly change.
Flexible and easy installation: Thanks to its compact size and lightweight, the inverter is quick and easy to install and connect. Integrated MC4 connectors allow fast connection between solar input and inverter. Numerous safety features ensure safe and smooth operation of the solar system.
