How long do solar inverters last?

As micro-inverters are integrated to the solar panels they are designed to last for the same lifespan as the solar panel (twenty to thirty years). Sting inverters and power inverters are designed to last ten to fifteen years as they are used with varying amounts of power input and power draw.

How long does a string inverter last?

String type and UPS type inverters are sized to generate much higher power outputs and typically last between ten and fifteen years. The durability of inverters is linked to their proper use and maintenance. We will consider the use of: Let’s look at why these inverter types exist and how they are correctly deployed.

What factors affect the inverter lifespan?

It is generally believed that the main culprits that affect electronic components are high temperature, dust, oxidation, moisture, etc. Therefore, the inverter lifespan is also affected by these factors, which requires operators to perform necessary maintenance to extend their inverter lifespan.

What is a regular power supply inverter?

Regular inverters or Uninterrupted Power Supply inverters were the first types of inverters designed to convert the direct current (DC) supply from a backup battery system into useful alternating current (AC) of the correct voltage (V) and frequency (Hz).

How often should a photovoltaic inverter be replaced?

During the entire life cycle of a photovoltaic power station, the inverter must be replaced at least once. This article will give you a detailed introduction to inverter lifespan.

Why is maintenance necessary on the inverter?

The failure of capacitors, silicone grease, etc. is also a gradual process, which will gradually reduce the efficiency of the inverter. Therefore, it is recommended to perform maintenance on the inverter to delay the aging of the inverter components.
