    To install a solar panel inverter, the first step is to determine the location of the inverter. Typically, inverters are installed in a garage or a shed, as they are typically outdoor devices with proper ventilation and at an optimum distance from the panel array. Once the location is determined, the inverter is mounted to the roof or wall and connected to the electrical system.
    In a solar panel inverter installation, The inverter is connected to the solar panels through a set of wires. The inverter is the part of the solar system that converts the direct current (DC) from the solar panels to alternating current (AC) for use in your home.

    Once the inverter is connected to the electrical system after solar inverter installation it can be turned on and ready to start producing power.

    In majority of the countries across the globe including India, the maximum amount of energy we consume in our households through the grid is derived from burning of coals, lignite, diesel or using gas. All of these are non-renewable energy sources and could be exhausted with overuse. Moreover, they also release green house gas during power production. When we use solar energy, we generate electricity directly from sunlight without burning anything. So solar users helps to reduce the needs of energy dervierd from the burning of fossil fuels and this avoid adding more Green House Gases into the enviornment.

    It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakRead more

    It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakh. However, the final cost of the project is mutually decided by the consumer and solar vendor. So despite the MNRE benchmark price which is not mandatory, the solar project vendors install a 3 Kw system often at higher price ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh based on the technology, reputation of the vendor, services it is providing and other parameters.

    Precautions for inverter installation and maintenance:

    1. Before installation, you should first check whether the inverter is damaged during transportation.
    2. When selecting the installation site, it should be ensured that there is no interference from any other power electronic equipment in the surrounding area.
    3. Before making electrical connections, be sure to cover or disconnect the AC and DC side isolator switch with opaque materials. When exposed to sunlight, the PV array will generate dangerous voltages.
    4. All installation operations must be performed by professional technicians only.
    5. The cables used in the photovoltaic system power generation system must be firmly connected, with good insulation and appropriate specifications.
    6. All electrical installations must meet local and national electrical standards.
    7. The inverter can be connected to the grid only after obtaining the permission of the local power department and all electrical connections are completed by professional technicians.
    8. Before performing any maintenance work, first disconnect the electrical connection between the inverter and the grid, and then disconnect the DC side electrical connection.
    9. Wait at least 5 minutes until the internal components are discharged before performing maintenance work.
    10. Any fault that affects the safety performance of the inverter must be eliminated immediately before the inverter can be turned on again.
    11. Avoid unnecessary board contact.
    12. Observe the static protection code and wear an anti-static wrist strap.
    13. Pay attention to and follow the warning signs on the product.
    14. Visually inspect the equipment for damage or other dangerous conditions before operation.
    15. Pay attention to the hot surface of the inverter. For example, a heat sink of a power semiconductor or the like maintains a relatively high temperature for a period of time after the inverter is powered off.
    16. Use proper safety equipments while working on installation and maintenance. Operations should be done by an experienced technician only.

    Inverter installation location requirements

    1. Do not install the inverter in direct sunlight. Failure to do so may result in additional internal temperature of the inverter, which will derate the inverter to protect internal components. Even the temperature is too high, causing the inverter temperature to malfunction.
    2. The installation site should be strong enough to support the weight of the inverter for a long time.
    3. The ambient temperature of the selected installation site is -25 °C ~ 50 °C, and the installation environment is clean.
    4. The ambient humidity of the selected installation site is not more than 95%, and there is no condensation.
    5. There should be enough clearance in front of the inverter to make it easy to observe the data and repair.
    6. Try to install it away from the living of the residents, and some noise will be generated during the operation.
    7, the installation place to ensure that it will not shake.
