    Hybrid inverters or any inverters attached to solar systems are installed by professionals who have training and expertise in setting up solar projects. Hybrid inverters give the extra advantage of using solar power from grid-connected solar system even when there is power blackout from the grid. Do not try to do any such installation on your own, otherwise it can expose you to the risk of electrical shocks.

    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.

    Overheating, Surges & Spikes

    One common reason for solar inverter failure is overheating due to lack of proper maintenance. Solar inverters are often installed in outdoor environments where they are exposed to sunlight and high temperatures. Over time, this exposure can cause the internal components of the inverter to overheat, leading to performance degradation and eventual failure. Inadequate ventilation or improper installation can exacerbate this issue, underscoring the importance of proper system design and maintenance.

    Another factor contributing to solar inverter failure is electrical surges or spikes. These can occur due to lightning strikes, grid voltage fluctuations, or switching events within the electrical system. While inverters are equipped with surge protection mechanisms, they are not immune to damage from high-voltage transients. Investing in additional surge protection devices and implementing proper grounding practices can help mitigate the risk of damage from electrical surges.

    Components & Firmware

    Component degradation and manufacturing defects are also potential causes of solar inverter failure. Over time, the internal components of inverters, such as capacitors and semiconductors, can degrade due to exposure to heat, moisture, and electrical stress. Regular monitoring and proactive maintenance can help identify early signs of component degradation, allowing for timely repairs or replacements.

    Furthermore, software and firmware issues can affect the performance and reliability of solar inverters. Firmware bugs, compatibility issues with other system components, and software glitches can all lead to malfunctions or operational errors. Keeping inverters up-to-date with the latest firmware releases and working with reputable manufacturers can help minimize the risk of software-related failures.

    Keep the solar inverters under shade. Also make enough space on the four sides of the inverter to prevent heat accumulation.
