Technical FAQs 4

Are there life cycle inventories of low power solar inverters?

The objective of this study is to compile life cycle inventories of different power scales of solar inverters. Average life cycle inventories of low power solar inverters are compiled based on information provided by three leading European producers.

Why is the life cycle inventory of a 500 W solar inverter not updated?

The life cycle inventory of the 500 W solar inverter has not been updated because no manufacturer, which delivered data, produces a 500 W inverter. The 500 kW inverter inventory is not updated because no data has been provided for high power inverters.

How long do solar inverters last?

With proper maintenance and regular monitoring, quality solar inverters can serve reliably for 10-15 years, providing optimal energy conversion efficiency throughout their lifespan. Remember that environmental conditions, installation quality, and maintenance practices significantly impact longevity.

How many types of solar inverters are there?

Life cycle inventories of three different types of solar inverters (500 W, 2‘500 W, 500 kW) are available in the KBOB life cycle inventory database v2.2:2016 (KBOB et al. 2016). The data underlying these inventories however was derived from equipment sold and installed ten and more years ago.
