When designing a utility-scale solar energy project, one of the major decisions is whether to utilise a centralised or decentralised (string) inverter model. Both centralised and decentralised plant designs have their place, particularly in one to five megawatt applications; one is not better than the other.

However, the choice of inverter model is a decision that will have enormous consequences over the life of the plant in terms of cost, serviceability and availability of parts and expertise, particularly in the new business environment in which long supply chains are no longer desirable.

So, what do solar energy producers need to consider before deciding on a centralised or decentralised approach?

FIMER has developed a white paper looking at both solutions in the Australian and New Zealand market and the considerations required when selecting one over the other.
