FAQ
Have Questions?
What are solar micro inverters?
The traditional solar installation will use a single solar inverter for all of your panels. For example, you may have one inverter for 15-20 solar panels. You can choose to install micro inverters, so there’s one to every panel. Should there be a failure isolated to just one panel, a system with micro inverters will ensure the remaining panels continue operating at full capacity. Unfortunately, though, you should expect an extra 25% on your installation cost so it is often not worth the extra investment.
How long do solar inverters last?
You should expect your solar inverters to last a minimum 10 years and up to 20 years. Most warranty periods are for 10 years (Solax offers an extended 20-year warranty).
Do solar inverters turn off at night?
Yes, solar inverters will turn off at night. There simply isn’t enough energy to keep them operational at night. But they will kick back in the morning when there’s sufficient power.
How do solar panels work?
Well…To put it simply, the energy from the sun generates electrical currents in the form of DC, which is sent to the inverter where it is converted to AC .
For a visual explanation, check out this graphic from Solect.com.
Do solar panels generate power at night?
No they do not. The system will shut down due to the lack of energy. This is why some people choose to install a solar battery, so that you can store the energy generated during the day and then use it at night.
Do I need a north-facing roof?
No you don’t necessarily need your solar panels facing North. By facing them North you will maximise the energy converted but it depends on your objective. For example, if you want to maximise the solar energy you consume, then you may want to align them to receive more energy in the morning or in the evening depending on your situation. There is also discussions to increase feed in tarrifs during peak consumption to ease the load of the power grid. If this comes in place, then you may want to produce more energy in the evening.
