Extreme exposure of heat, direct sunlight and wrong installations can pose threat to the solar inverters. So it is often advised to install solar inverters in shade and with adequate space from other nearby obstructions.

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.

Most inverter makers allow real-time monitoring of rooftop solar performance through their authorised mobile app. For this the inverter needs to be connected either with a wifi or through a GSM system. This empowers the users to track every day generation, monthly and yearly generation, average savings, carbon dioxide emissions reduced among others. This also alerts the users in case any malfunction is reported on the system through the mobile even if the person is not there near the project site.

• Keep the Inverter cool by ensuring the fan, ventilation system, or other cooling technology is up to speed and working correctly.
• Keep the air intake filter clean to ensure there is no clogging, preventing the free flow of air and preventing moisture from building up internally.
• Check for Error Codes or changes in the inverter lights; these could be signs that something is amiss and needs attention.
• Use Solar Monitoring Technology whenever available from your solar equipment supply company. Whether they are apps or alert systems of any kind, they can help monitor performance and spot issues before they escalate.

Microinverters are more efficient than other inverters because they can harvest 5–20% more energy than string systems, and the efficiency of one panel doesn't affect the others.

Size of solar inverter dependent on the equipments that are intended to be used while utility supply is down. Total load on inverter is equal to the sum of all nameplate rating of such equipments. While sizing, some equipment like air conditioner and refrigerators should be sized at 2/3 times normal rating to account for the high inrush current drawn by these equipments while starting. An additional 25 -30 % can be considered as buffer for future expansion.
Once the total wattage of devices are calculated, the next step is to determine the type and number of batteries required to support your inverter. The battery capacity, measured in ampere-hours (Ah), is crucial for ensuring your system can store enough energy to meet your needs, especially during power outages or when solar input is unavailable.

First, make sure that the power supply to the inverter is turned on. This means checking whether or not the breaker is tripped or if the power cord has become disconnected. If these do not seem to be the problem, proceed to reset inverter.
• Reset the solar inverter by turning it off and then back on again. Be sure to wait for a few minutes before trying to turn the inverter back on, as this will give it time to power down completely.
• If your solar inverter is still not working after following these steps, you should contact a professional for help. A qualified technician will be able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

Majority of Indian solar firms offer a 25-year warranty on their products. If regular maintenance is done, the product life increases considerably. Within the system, inverter warranty might be 5-8 years, and the installer itself would provide a separate 5 year maintainance and running commitment. Other than the module and inverters, the other systems can be expected to last the full 25 year period with regular checks.

String inverters are electrical devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). They are usually installed in a string formation where multiple solar panels are connected in series to form a single circuit. They differ from central inverters in terms of capacity as central inverters are designed to handle large amounts of power at a fixed frequency.
