Publish Time: Author: Site Editor Visit: 3808
In recent years, there are increasing demand of inverter because of the popularity of off-grid solar systems for RVs and homes.The inverter plays an important role in off-grid systems and has many advantages worth mentioning, but also some disadvantages.

What Are The Advantage And Disadvantages Of Off-Grid Inverter

 

First, let's understand: What does an inverter do?

Inverter is a device that converts DC power such as 12VDC/24VDC/48VDC and higher DC voltage to 110VAC/127VAC/220VAC/380VAC. It is used in households, vehicles, ships, industrial power stations, aviation platforms, etc.

 

What are the advantages of inverters?
 

1. Cost saving
A reliable inverter and other components for an off-grid solar system can last for several years at a cost well below the electricity bill.

2. Risk of blackout
Since you are a producer of electricity, you will have complete energy independence. You can avoid the risk of power outages or fluctuating electricity costs.

3. Portability
You can take the inverter out for camping and outings, and it can power your devices outdoors when there is no grid.

4. Environmental protection
Inverters contribute to the most environmentally friendly and sustainable home energy system or camper system. You minimize your carbon footprint and help reduce water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

 

What are the disadvantages of inverters?

1. Efficiency <100%
There are losses in the energy conversion of the inverter, which affects the overall efficiency of the system.

2. Damage & Repair Cost
Although the probability is very low, the inverter is an electronic product and it will be damaged.

3. Cannot be fully loaded or overloaded
The off-grid high-frequency inverter cannot be fully loaded with inductive loads, and its overload capacity is poor. Please leave a 20% buffer when selecting an inverter.

4. Weather effects
You can't use power as much as you want in bad weather. If you're going to power your entire home or get through a few rainy days, you're going to need more panels and a high-capacity battery.
