Technical FAQs 4

Why do solar inverters need direct sunlight?

Direct sunlight on the inverter also contributes to faster wear and tear of the equipment. To maximize your solar inverter’s lifespan and efficiency, it is crucial to protect it against the sun’s harmful rays.

Should you protect your solar inverter from the Sun?

While protecting your solar inverter from the sun is crucial, there are other threats to consider – rain, dust, animals, and electrical hazards. Without proper protection, inverters exposed to the outdoor elements can suffer damage, leading to failures that can shorten their lifespan and impact their performance.

Can a solar inverter overheat?

Just like any other electronic device, solar inverters can overheat. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause your inverter to heat up excessively, which will hamper its efficiency and may also shorten its lifespan. Direct sunlight on the inverter also contributes to faster wear and tear of the equipment.

How does weather affect a solar inverter?

Dust and Debris: Accumulation of dust and debris on solar panels can block sunlight, reducing energy production. Inverters connected to dirty panels may underperform, making regular cleaning essential. Extreme weather events, such as storms, heavy rains, and hail, can have a significant impact on solar inverters.
