Maintenance Tips for your Solar Inverter System
One of the numerous benefits of solar inverters is that they require little to no maintenance. However, just like any other home appliance your inverter system should be used with care for effective operation and longer life span. Follow these maintenance tips to prolong the lifespan of your solar inverter system.
1 – Ensure your inverter system is installed in a well ventilated and dustproof location; The first rule of thumb is to ensure that your inverter system is installed in a well ventilated and dustproof location. It would save you a whole lot. When your inverter is installed in an area where there is no ventilation, it may cause overheating, the heat forms dew or water drops which may also cause rust. Preventing heat, moisture and dust will help maintain the efficiency of your inverter system.
2 – Avoid overloading the inverter; Do not overload your inverter system with electrical devices and appliances beyond its capacity, this may damage the inverter or cause an explosion.
3 – Keep away from heat or flame; As stated in number one, heat or even flames could damage your inverter system and battery, so endeavor to avoid any flame or heat around your inverter after installation to prolong the lifespan of your inverter system.
4 – Use energy saving bulbs and appliances; Go for energy saving appliances to reduce power consumption from inverter batteries. For instance, an ordinary bulb uses 75% more energy than a CFL or LED bulb to provide the same amount of light. Similarly, an inverter AC or refridgerator consume lesser power than the conventional models. Energy saving appliances will guarantee you a long backup power time.
5 – Keep away from the reach of children: Getting in contact with your inverter system is dangerous to both the child and system. The child may hurt himself or herself, there is also the possibility of the child damaging the system. It is best to keep your inverter system away from the reach of children.
