String, micro of hybride omvormers

Of je dak geschikt is voor zonnepanelen hangt af van een aantal factoren zoals de oriëntatie, hellingshoek, mogelijke schaduwval en de staat van het dak. Vrijwel alle platte en schuine daken zijn geschikt voor zonnepanelen. Bij de Zonnegroep hoef je niet zelf met deze getallen te goochelen, door een dakscan in te vullen krijg je snel en eenvoudig een overzicht van de mogelijkheden en het daarbij behorende rendement.

Inverter failure stops electricity production from your solar system. Most quality inverters come with warranties covering replacement costs. Many installers offer monitoring services that alert them to inverter issues, and replacement typically takes 1-2 days once the problem is identified and parts are available.

Inverter sizing depends on your solar array size and local conditions. The inverter capacity should typically be 80-90% of your total panel capacity to account for real-world conditions and optimize cost-effectiveness, though specific ratios depend on your location and system design.

Solar inverters typically last 10-15 years, shorter than solar panels. String inverters usually come with 10-12 year warranties (extendable to 20-25 years), while microinverters often include 20-25 year warranties and may last as long as the panels themselves.

Yes, most modern inverters include monitoring capabilities that track energy production, system performance, and potential issues. This monitoring is usually accessible via smartphone apps or web portals, allowing you to verify your system is performing optimally and identify problems quickly.

The main types are string inverters (one inverter for multiple panels), power optimizers (panel-level optimization with string inverter), and microinverters (one per panel). Each has advantages: string inverters are cost-effective, while microinverters and optimizers maximize energy production and provide panel-level monitoring.

Solar inverters convert the direct current (DC) electricity produced by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity used by your home and the electrical grid. They also optimize power production, monitor system performance, and provide safety shutdown capabilities.
