How to confirm the input voltage and current range of the solar inverter?

The inverter’s technical datasheet lists the allowed input DC voltage range and maximum input current. Always check these values before connecting to ensure you don’t exceed the inverter’s capabilities.

What if the inverter doesn’t work after connecting?

First, check if the panel’s voltage and current are within the inverter’s acceptable range. Then check the wiring and ensure the breaker is closed. If it still doesn’t work, contact the inverter manufacturer or a professional for troubleshooting.

How many solar panels should the inverter be connected to?

The number of solar panels depends not only on the inverter’s capacity but also on factors like sunlight conditions, panel orientation, shading, and cable loss. Usually, a 10–20% margin is included to prevent underperformance on cloudy days. In general, the total solar panel capacity should be less than the inverter’s maximum input capacity.

Can I install solar panels and inverter myself?

Yes, if you have electrical skills, but for safety and compliance with local codes, hiring a licensed solar installer is strongly recommended.

Is it better to connect solar panels in series or parallel to an inverter?

Series increases voltage, ideal for long cable runs with less loss. Parallel increases current, useful in partial shading. Many systems use a mix for optimal performance.
