Small solar panel with the solar micro-inverter

Question: I have a 185Wp panel. How will this panel work with a 250Wp microinverter?

Answer: The panel will work with the microinverter only if the voltage of the panel matches  the operating voltage of the inverter. If the voltage matches, the inverter will produce the energy in the amount  provided by the panel.  See the example:

A) The microinverter has the operating voltage (MPPT range) between 24V and 55V. The 185Wp panel has the open voltage 36V and the max point voltage 30V.   This type of panel will work with the microinverter.  When at the full sun shine the panel will provide some 180 watts of energy and the microinverter will convert this energy to the AC output.

B) The microinverter has the operating voltage (MPPT range) between 24V and 55V. The 185Wp panel has the open voltage 18V and the max point voltage 14V.   This type of panel will NOT work with the microinverter.  The voltage of the panel is out of the range of the microinverter.  Tip: you can connect two identical panels in series to increase the voltage – this support article with ideas of regulating the solar power by means of more small size panels used for one micro-inverter.
