Anyone got views on the best inverters as far as reliability is concerned.
All appear to offer 5 year warranties but only Mastervolt seems to offer up to 20 years (at a price). Others seem to not offer extensions or 10 years max. This doesn't show great confidence in their kit.
This equipment seems to be the weak point of any pv installation. I don't think most clients would be impressed if told that they would probably have to buy one or two new inverters for their 4kWp system at ~£1,500 a pop (plus installation costs) in the next 25 years!
Are transformerless inverters inherently more reliable?
Does underrating improve reliability?
Which brands and types do you guys reckon for 2.5 to 4kWp arrays?
