How Long Does an Inverter Last?
A good quality home inverter will be stable for 10-15 years, while a high load commercial system may need to be replaced between 5 and 10 years.
Inverters installed in well-ventilated, shaded areas typically last longer than those exposed to direct sunlight or installed in confined spaces with poor airflow. For instance, installing an inverter in an unventilated attic could reduce its lifespan by several years due to heat accumulation.
This approach involves routine cleaning, monitoring performance metrics, and inspecting the inverter and energy storage system. Neglecting regular maintenance can result in premature failure, reduced efficiency, costly repairs or replacements, and a lower return on investment.
A proactive approach is crucial for identifying and preventing technical issues that can lead to inverter failure. This approach involves routine cleaning, monitoring performance metrics, and inspecting the inverter and energy storage system.
Check the temperature, humidity, and weather elements at the inverter location. Environmental factors can impact the inverter's operational capability and potentially cause damage to components within the solar system.
