The efficiency of a solar inverter significantly impacts the total energy produced by a solar installation. Since all the electricity generated by the installation passes through the inverter, its efficiency is crucial. For instance, with an 80% efficient inverter, 20% of the electricity is lost, while a 98% efficient inverter only loses 2%.
Efficiency of Inverters The efficiency of an inverter indicates how much DC power is converted to AC power. Some of the power can be lost as heat, and also some stand-by power is consumed for keeping the inverter in powered mode. The general efficiency formula is: where P AC is AC power output in watts and P DC is DC power input in watts.
It is important to note that the inverter efficiency declines with a small rate after peaking with incident energy levels around 400–700 W/m 2 due to the temperature increase inside the inverter when it handles loads with more power .
Consider a solar installation producing 7,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually. Over 25 years, this amounts to 175,000 kWh. Assuming each kWh is valued at $0.13 , increasing annually by 2.6%, here’s how inverter efficiency affects the total value: A hypothetical 100% efficient inverter would yield 175,000 kWh, totaling $31,489.
