Micro-inverters are ideal for small-scale rooftop applications. However, for larger capacity rooftop projects, micro-inverters may not be as suitable because they introduce more points of failure.

For projects on a 5 MW scale, central inverters are more suitable due to their robustness and reliability. String inverters are often more volatile, with many models in the current market not lasting more than three years. Since 2018, FIMER has been supplying the PVS980 series central inverters, which have proven to be reliable over time. The long-term availability of string inverters, especially for up to 25 years, is a significant concern.
Additionally, compliance with CEA (Central Electricity Authority) regulations is challenging with string inverters. FIMER central inverters, such as the PVS980 series, are designed to meet local grid requirements and comply with CEA regulations, making them a more reliable choice for large-scale solar projects.

It is not mandatory to install residential string inverters inside a room or under a canopy, as they come with IP65 protection enclosures. However, installing a canopy to avoid direct sunlight on the inverters is beneficial. This will ensure that the inverter’s internal components are not adversely affected by heat, thereby increasing the inverter’s lifespan.

Installing a solar inverter with a higher capacity offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides flexibility to increase the DC capacity of the solar array in the future without needing to replace the inverter. This reduces the overall stress on the inverter components and lowers the probability of failures over time.
However, it’s important to note that installing a significantly higher capacity inverter than necessary is not always required. Most inverters are designed to operate efficiently even in higher ambient temperatures. However AC to DC ratio, typically ranging from 1:1 to 1:1.2, can be sufficient to ensure optimal performance and reliability without the need for excessive overcapacity in the inverter.

If you are using UPS and battery for power backup, a new rooftop solar connection will not hamper the functining of your batteries and power backup. It will work like it used to work before the installation of rooftop solar.
