How long does a solar inverter last?

• Save money, as the inverter is the most vulnerable part of a solar installation and you're likely to replace it at least once during the lifespan of your system. Microinverters have basically the same longevity as solar panels themselves. As a result, the warranties for AC modules are usually issued for 25 years.

Who is solar inverter service?

Solar Inverter Repair Experts. Inverter Service has been repairing electronic equipment and Solar Inverters across Australia since 1975. We have worked with many of the leading electronic goods manufacturers and distributors world wide, namely Canon, Clenergy, Origin, Panasonic, Sharp and Sony.

How long do microinverters last?

Microinverters typically showcase impressive longevity, with an average lifespan of 20-25 years, often matching the warranty period of solar panels themselves. This extended durability stems from their distributed architecture, which reduces stress on individual components.

When should a solar inverter be replaced?

Proactive planning inverter replacement is crucial for maintaining continuous solar system performance. Industry experts recommend starting replacement preparations when your inverter reaches 8-10 years of operation, even if it’s still functioning well.
