Technical FAQs 4

What causes a solar inverter to fail?

The AC voltage overrange is the most common failure of the solar inverter connected with the PV grid system. This is because the grid voltage is not constant and it will change with the changing of the load and current. At the same time, the output voltage of the inverter will be affected by the grid voltage.

What happens if a solar inverter is connected in a wrong way?

If the AC wire of the solar inverter is connected in a wrong way, the AC voltage overrange failure may be caused. If the phase wire and zero wire are connected wrongly, then the inverter A phase will show that the line voltage is 380V and the B, C will show that the phase voltage is 220V.

Why do inverters need to be stopped if grid voltage changes?

This is because the grid voltage is not constant and it will change with the changing of the load and current. At the same time, the output voltage of the inverter will be affected by the grid voltage. When the grid encounters abnormal situation, the inverter power supply shall be stopped to avoid more serious damage on the grid.

What happens if a solar inverter is too low?

The open circuit voltage of the string should be much greater than the minimum input voltage of the inverter; if there are too few modules in series, the open circuit voltage of the string will be too low, resulting in no display on the inverter screen. Solution: Increase the number of solar panels in series.
