Customer ServiceWhile solar panels have a 25 – 30 years lifespan, solar inverters have about 10 – 15 years. This is because of the limited lifespan of the electrolytic capacitors of inverters. So, you may want to budget for inverter replacement at least once in the lifetime of your solar power system. What does it mean if my inverter is running hot?

Solar rooftop in Universal City As of 2022, an excellent open circuit voltage is around 30-58 volts. A panel with a VOC of less than 30 volts is likely small with little power output. It’s important to note the VOC is not what makes one panel better than another, but it does reveal a solar panel’s potential in terms of power output and longevity.
If the Voc of the solar panel is higher than the maximum voltage rating of the solar charge controller, the charge controller can be damaged. This can be a costly repair, and it can also leave your solar panel system without power. Vmp is important for ensuring that your solar panel system can meet your power requirements.
Solar panels with a high OCV are more efficient and can compensate for the lower level of solar irradiation in the UK. The OCV can be measured using a voltmeter and can vary depending on the temperature and the amount of sunlight that the panel receives.
