Reliability
The LeadSolar microinverter provides highly reliable solar installations by removing failure-prone central
inverters. With no single point of system failure, LeadSolar Microinverters are designed to operate at full power
with ambient temperatures as high as 65°C. The microinverter housing is designed for outdoor installation and
complies with the IP65 environmental enclosure rating standard. LeadSolar Energy uses the harshest
possible testing conditions; each unit is both tested at the factory and tracked in the field.
2.3
System Monitoring & Easy Maintenance
The LeadSolar Link™ Communications Gateway provides a unique and convenient way to monitor your
system’s operation and performance.
To install a LeadSolar Link Gateway, just plug it into any wall socket in your house and use the provided
Ethernet cable to connect it to your broadband router or modem. Then the Gateway will automatically start to
work and communicate with the microinverters in your system. The collected system operation data will be
reported to the LeadSolar Management web server. The Management software presents current and historical
system performance trends, and it informs you of PV system status.
2.4
Simple Design & Easy Installation
LeadSolar Microinverters have a simple design for easy installation. Traditional design procedures (string
calculations, panel orientation, etc.) are not necessary for LeadSolar microinverter systems. Simply attach the
microinverter to a compatible PV module and connect the DC and AC cables to the panel and AC grid. The
installation is finished and the system is ready to work.
The system is open and can accommodate new panels at any time. This allows users to adopt solar power at
their own pace, and as their budget allows. One panel’s failure does not impede others at all. Maintenance,
repair, and replacement do not require the whole system to be shut down -- only the panel that needs repair.
Distributed systems eliminate the risk of personnel exposure to lethal doses of voltage (up to 600V), which is
common in a string or central inverter system.
