Inverter production outdoor

Can inverters be installed outside?

As a rule, inverters designed for outdoor use may be installed either outdoors or indoors, however indoor inverters can only be installed indoors. The great majority of grid-tied or string inverters available today are designed for outdoor installation.

Where are inverter power supply products made?

The production base is located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, covering an area of more than 2500m². The sales and R&D center is located in Shenzhen, China, covering an area of more than 1000 square meters; All our inverter power supply products have been approved by CE test.

Can a grid-tied inverter be installed outside?

Like most electronic devices, inverters operate more efficiently at cooler temperatures. While most grid-tied inverters are designed for outside installation, they should not be mounted in direct sunlight, as this will degrade their efficiency. In addition to the lost output, the lifetime of the unit is likely to be shortened.

Should inverters be shaded?

Thus, even inverters that incorporate robust outdoor packaging should be kept shaded, even if it means installing an awning over them. The ideal installation site for inverters is cool, dry, dust-free and indoors. However, there are a growing number of applications for which this is impractical or undesirable.

What are the different types of PV inverters?

There are three primary tiers of PV inverters: microinverters, string inverters, and central inverters. Since microinverters are not rated for utility-scale voltages, we will largely ignore them in this article. String inverters convert DC power from “strings” of PV modules to AC and are designed to be modular and scalable.

Will my project have a central inverter?

The likelihood of encountering a central inverter on a project increases with project size and age. Utility-scale projects above ~10 MW are the most common application today. Large C&I and smaller utility-scale projects from just a few years ago are likely to have central inverters as well, for reasons we’ll touch on in the next section.
