Solar Inverters in Nigeria.

Since electricity supply is still a nagging problem in the country, it’s only fair that people look for other environmental friendly means to provide power for their daily use. While generators have served private homes and organizations for many years, there is often the concern about sound and air pollution. Then came Inverters, solar systems, and then the recent hybrid known as Solar Inverters.

Solar inverters in Nigeria is becoming the new trend and they are starting to completely replace generator use. The news of a solar inverter would have been so strange if this were 10 years, but today almost everyone in Nigeria has heard of a solar inverter. Although most people have heard about it, they don't know so much about a solar inverter.

This post would shed more light on the solar inverter and the top brands that produce these solar inverters. So basically, an inverter is an electronic device that converts DC to AC and vice versa. In the cash of a power outage the power stored in the battery can be used to keep running the home appliances.

They are of two types; Power Inverters and Solar inverters. The solar Inverter is a type of inverter that is better optimized for use with solar panels. It is an important electronic device which converts DC electricity generated from solar panels photovoltaic system or DC batteries system to AC electricity that can be used to operate our household appliances, commercial/ industrial buildings, etc.

Solar inverters are fast replacing generator sets as the go-to alternative for backup power supply. In recent years, the solar inverter market has witnessed a surge in demand. That’s because people have started realizing the benefits of switching to solar energy for residential as well as commercial use.

Households, industrial factories and facilities, commercial companies, educational institutions, restaurants and all other businesses are opting for solar inverters as (alternative) power source. The numerous benefits of solar inverters have in turn increased their demands by individuals and businesses.

Also just like some generators, solar inverters typically have a life span ranging from 10 to 20 years. And so users should expect most to last 10 years minimum. They have also got lasting warranty ranging from 5 to 12 years. This is quite reasonable because of the advantages the solar inverters has over our present power alternative i.e. Generators.

Let's talk about some of these advantages:

* A major advantage of using solar energy is that unlike fossil fuels that cause a lot of pollution, solar energy is a clean and green source of energy. Solar energy decreases the greenhouse effect as well as abnormal weather change. It helps reduce the carbon footprint which is the need of the hour.

Solar energy is truly a renewable energy source. It can be harnessed in all areas of the world and is available every day. It's impossible to run out of solar energy, unlike some of the other sources of energy. Solar energy will be accessible as long as we have the sun, and this is pretty much a constant.

* Another awesome benefit of installing a solar inverter system is that you are able to generate electricity for free. That’s because the solar energy from the Sun is a free source of energy. Also, the yearly savings that most households make after installing solar inverter systems are such that they are able to recover their initial cost of investment within 6-7 years.

And since the average lifespan of a solar inverter system is anywhere between 15 to 20 years, it means that one is able to make substantial returns on their investment once they have recovered their initial investment cost. By using solar energy, you can save money by reducing electricity bills.

* Another benefit is that you get to enjoy constant electricity in your home. If you live in an area where there are long and frequent power cuts and even the normal UPS inverter is not of much help, then installing a solar inverter system will help you reduce your dependence on your local power company.

Solar inverter assists people in remote area where there's shortage of electricity supply. These people can depend in solar inverter in getting all their life needs of electricity.

* These inverters empower small businesses by reducing their energy needs and requirements. Since you will be meeting some of your energy needs with the electricity your solar system has generated, your energy bills will drop. How much you save on your bill will be dependent on the size of the solar system and your electricity usage.

* Easy to set up and more reasonable compared with generators. Maintenance is also easy as they work well even with usual maintenance. Solar energy systems generally don’t require a lot of maintenance. You only need to keep them relatively clean, so cleaning them a couple of times per year will do the job. If in doubt, you can always rely on specialized cleaning companies, which offer this service at reasonable prices.

Also, as there are no moving parts, there is no issue of excessive wear and tear. The inverter is usually the only part that needs to be changed after 5-10 years because it is continuously working to convert solar energy into electricity.

The only disadvantage of using solar energy is the purchasing cost and installation cost, which is not really a disadvantage but a profitable investment if you ask me. It is very important that you get the very best quality for your money and so I would be mentioning the Top Solar inverters in Nigeria.

* Felicity Solar.

Solar inverter function and problems.

This shouldn't be a surprising topic considering that solar inverters are usually located outside in harsh weather conditions. Some of these weather conditions include rainfall, humidity, and extreme heat circumstances, all while generating power watts ranging up to thousands rigorously up to 10 to 11 hours a day. This is the reason why it is important to use quality inverters and place it in a sheltered and secluded location.

There is no doubt that the life of a solar inverter can be significantly increased by placing it in a location directly out of sunlight or inside a garage. Most inverters placed in an outdoor location will have issues and experience fault at some point in time.

Knowing this, it is important that we not just place priority on getting the solar system we should also place priority on installing and maintenance.
