One of the most significant components of a photovoltaic system is the solar inverter. Its main role is to convert DC and AC current, but it also performs other functions on the photovoltaic system.
If you are planning to buy a solar inverter, here are a few tips.
To optimize your green energy production, consider placing your inverter near your solar panels. The shorter the distance between the panels and the inverter, the less energy will be lost along the way.
An inverter that overheats and / or is damaged by corrosion, performed significantly less well. To avoid this, place your inverter in a cool, dry place.
Before buying your solar inverter with battery, check that your electrical box can accommodate a green electricity meter and a fuse.
Types of inverters on the market:
Let’s start with a quick presentation of the different inverter models that you can find on the photovoltaic market today and their specificities:
String inverter: This first model of device is a photovoltaic inverter which can receive the current supplied by a string of solar panels. Compared to other types of solar inverters, this string inverter is mainly recommended and therefore used for photovoltaic installations intended for the private consumer or certain professionals for the production of solar energy, expressed in peak power, kWp. It is also the type of inverter that presents, as we will see below, the most advantages if you want to equip your home with photovoltaic solar panels. Its connection and operation will generally be single-phase.
The central inverter: This other model of photovoltaic inverter is larger than the previous one. This imposing size nevertheless allows it to withstand all the loads supplied to it by several chains of solar panels. The central inverter is therefore more suitable for large installations such as industrial installations or companies. Its connection and operation will generally be three-phase.
The micro-inverter: This type of solar inverter is the one that you will often find on the market for the equipment of limited photovoltaic installations. This is a module-level electronic component, much like power optimizers. This device therefore requires installing a unit on each of the installation panels with one panel per micro-inverter.
The battery inverter: This last type of device, the solar inverter with battery, performs several functions on the solar installation. Indeed, it fulfills both the role of an inverter and a battery charger.
How to maintain your solar inverter?
Along with your solar system, your solar inverter with battery may be subject to weather, dust, or simply wear and tear. This is why it is important to maintain it so that it remains optimal and functional as long as possible. To preserve its lifespan, perform a full diagnostic of your device once a year. Take the opportunity to inspect the cables as well.
Plus, don’t wait for the faulty parts to be completely broken. On the contrary, as soon as they show certain deficiencies and defects, replace them directly. Prevention is better than cure! It is also a question of passing a blow on the inverter in order to remove dust and dirt.
If you choose a reliable and trustworthy solar inverter with battery manufacturer then you can avoid maintaining your inverter often. Companies like Loom Solar always offer their best products and services to their clients and provide 24*7 hours support if any problem pops up.
