Solar Inverter

• 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.

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.
