"A well-maintained inverter can boost energy output by 15-20% compared to neglected systems." – EK SOLAR Field Report 2023
Installation Checklist: Do's and Don'ts
- Site selection: Avoid direct sunlight exposure (ideal temp: 25°C±5°C)
- Ventilation: Maintain 30cm clearance around unit
- Wiring: Use UV-resistant cables (16mm² minimum for 5kW systems)
Issue | Frequency | Solution |
---|---|---|
Overheating | 41% of cases | Install cooling fans |
Voltage spikes | 33% | Add surge protectors |
Moisture damage | 26% | Apply silica gel packs |
Maintenance Made Simple: 5-Step Routine
Think of inverter maintenance like car servicing – regular checkups prevent breakdowns. Here's our field-tested approach:
Monthly Quick Checks
- Wipe dust with microfiber cloth
- Listen for unusual buzzing sounds
- Verify display readings match app data
Bi-Annual Deep Maintenance
- Check terminal tightness (torque: 2.0-2.5 Nm)
- Test ground resistance (<0.5Ω)
- Update firmware via manufacturer portal
Pro Tip: Schedule maintenance before monsoon season (June-August) when humidity peaks at 85% in Dhaka.
When to Call Professionals
