Marty here from cleaning is reviews dot info. It’s hard to distinguish between the solar inverters on the market. So we’ve interviewed many experienced installers to find out what they think about the most popular inverse.
Today we’ll, just be looking at on grid string, inverters and micro inverters. We’ll, have a look at inverters which can be used with batteries in another video popular string. Inverters can be placed into two broad categories: premium and value.
Still standing out at the top of the premium list is the SMA. Sma is a German company which has been around since 1985. It is clearly the most widely used and highly rated in terms of quality and service by our solar specialist who site SMA is reliability and service as a standout features.
Austrian built fro Gnaeus an italian-made ABB, formerly Aurora, are strong contenders to SMA both owned by industrial giants. They are the favorites of a number of our specialists. Although peroneus gets higher ratings than ABB, fro Gnaeus has recently upgraded all of its inverters to the very sleek.
Looking and easy to install and service snap inverters to more industrial giants, moving into solar, inverters, a Schneider Electric and Bosch their model should be in the premium range as well. However, our specialists in Australia have not had enough experience with em yet to pass judgment.
Let me just say, though, that Bosch inverters look stunning and have some great functionality so looking forward to seeing more from them, the value category is more crowded than the premium grow. Watt and Delta are both widely used by our specialists and get reasonably good ratings for both quality and service.
The SMA tones ever solar gets ok quality feedback, but their service really lets them down. Solar ex is quite new to the market, so we don’t have a lot of feedback to go on, but whilst initial reports from our specialists are promising, we’ve.
Had some feedback from UK customers suggesting slow response to faults. Jfy has been around for a long time and whilst they are widely used and are very cheap, the specialist support, poor quality and performance.
I should also mention good.we, which is a large player internationally, but is not widely used in Australia. So we don’t have much feedback on them. Yet abb has been my preferred premium Verta for some time, because it’s, a higher quality inverter, but it’s cheaper than both SMA and furnace.
I really like the new furnace inverters though besides looking great, they have excellent monitoring options and also, if a Ford occurs, they can be serviced on the spot by trained installer, rather than having the whole unit replaced in terms of value inverters.
I think there are a few decent options I like Delta, because it’s been around for a long time and offers a wide range of inverters with 10 year warranty. Whilst they’ve had problems in the past with high fault rates.
It looks like their new rpi model has fewer faults. I also like Ziva solar, simply because it’s owned by SMA. It’s, one of the few value inverters, with the backing of such a big company, which means there’s, less risk of a disappearing, as many others have.
However, whilst have only had to deal with one fault with the Ziva solar, the experience was very painful, as SMA did not deal with zero solar warranty issues. My crows are very popular in the US market, with two quality manufacturers: nFA’s and solar bridge based there.
They are becoming more popular in Europe and in phase in particular. Now has a significant presence in Australia to NFA is a highly rated buyer specialist for their reliability and monitoring solar bridge stand up for me, though, because they are as good qualities in phase and the inverter already is connected to the panel and tested with it.
This makes for easy installation, and one point of contact for service ApS is also widespread in Australia market. However, it receives less growing glowing reviews with installers, citing high number of faults and poor service.
Although I spoke with an ApS technician recently and here inform me that the latest ApS models do have less faults in the previous ones, a number of string, inverter manufacturers are making micro inverters as well, which include SMA, ABB and Delta.
That’s. All for me today for my review on solar panels follow the link on the screen also check out clean energy reviews, dot info for lots of great info about solar products and a summary table of our inverter and solar panel reviews.
Thanks for watching see you next time,
