solar energy questions

Absolutely! We manufacture efficient, reliable, and user-friendly single and three-phase hybrid inverters tailored for solar installations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Explore our full product catalogue here.

Surge protection is a common consideration in inverter design to safeguard the equipment from voltage spikes and surges. Specific details about the surge protection features of Solplanet inverters would depend on the specific model and product specifications. It’s recommended to refer to the product documentation and user manual or contact Solplanet directly for accurate and detailed information about the surge protection capabilities of their inverters.

Solplanet inverters handle high ambient temperatures very well. They will automatically decrease power output to protect themselves from overheating. Our detailed installation and operating instructions provide specific power reduction curves for each inverter model.

Yes, they do. All of our inverters are capable of zero export once the function is set up in our convenient mobile app. You can access the export control solution via the smart meter, located directly on the inverter once you have enabled the function in the app. 

For more details, please refer to our user manuals or contact our service department for support.

Yes, it can. The PV array can typically be oversized by 150% depending on location and site irradiation levels. But note that excessive PV array oversizing can result in wasted money and a negative impact on the reliability of the inverter. If you have questions about oversizing a PV array, please contact your local Solplanet office.

Solplanet inverters can be used with thin-film solar panels, but this would be a pretty rare setup. Thin-film solar panels are usually better suited for portable devices. Solplanet inverters are stationary and are designed for traditional PV arrays in residential, commercial, and industrial situations. 

However, some thin-film panels on the market do not have to be adhered to a surface and in these cases, a Solplanet inverter will operate correctly.

No, they cannot. Solplanet inverters are designed to be on-grid inverters. The AC side of the inverter should be connected to the utility grid at all times. There are no settings to allow the inverter to operate in an “off-the-grid” or “island” mode. Solplanet cannot guarantee correct operation in off-grid applications and will not warranty any damages caused to the inverter(s) or the PV plant caused by off-grid use.

Solplanet produces only non-isolated (transformerless) inverters. The transformerless inverter is the most common in the residential and commercial market because it usually has the highest efficiency, lowest cost, smallest size and lightest weight compared to isolated (transformer) inverters.

Yes, all Solplanet inverters are equipped with a DC switch for smooth and uninterrupted power distribution.

In the simplest of terms, you’ll want to match your inverter to the wattage of your PV array. For example, if you have a 3000-watt PV array, you’ll need a 3000-watt inverter at a minimum. You’ll also need to consider things like the rating of your PV array, the maximum size of the installation, and even your geographical location. But don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it seems.
