What is the Function of Solar Inverters?

Have you wondered what the actuarial function of a solar inverter is? Then you are not on your own! A solar inverter plays a pivotal role in any solar system, which emphasises the importance of regular maintenance to prevent malfunctions and maintain its optimal performance. Essentially, solar inverters enable your solar power system to function efficiently by converting the direct current (DC) from solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) for household appliances. Without an inverter, the electricity generated by solar panels would be rendered useless. A superior feature of solar inverters is their capability to monitor energy usage through a connected computer program or device app, offering convenient real-time updates.

Solar Inverter Repairs

Our dedicated team of solar electricians are equipped to tackle any solar inverted problem with ease. A feature of Solar inverters is that they are equipped with a self-diagnosis feature that often resolves issues when the inverter is restarted. If an error message appears, you can consult the manufacturer’s manual to troubleshoot the problem. However, if the error message persists, it may be necessary to contact licensed solar technicians for repairs.

Common Problems that Effect Solar Inverters

There are rare occasions when a solar inverter needs repair or replacement due to poor manufacturing. In such cases, our technician will provide the best solution to suit your solar system and budget. More commonly, our technicians encounter problems related to:

• Overheating: Solar inverters can fail due to overheating caused by exposure to high temperatures, inadequate ventilation or other environmental factors
• Component failure: The failure of individual components, such as capacitors, transistors, or diodes, can cause a solar inverter to fail
• Lighting strikes: Solar inverters can be damaged by lightning strikes, which can cause electrical surges that overload the system.
• Power surges: Power surges caused by grid fluctuations or electrical storms can damage the solar inverter
• Age: With time solar inverters can wear out and fail due to normal wear and tear.
• Installation issues: Improper installation or maintenance can also cause inverters to fail.
• Damage due to insects and animals: Over time insects can nest in your inverter hindering its overall function
• Dust and debris buildup: Dust, dirt, and other air-born particles, including leaves, can lodge in your inverter.
