Unless you live in the sunbelt, it will take more than a few years to recoup. Factor in replacing the inventor every 7 years, it becomes questionable, it also depends on your storage solution or local buy back program. Add an electric car to the mix and it becomes feasible.
But I think it still needs to become cheaper.
- rhodozelia 6y agoAny source for inverter life span only 7 years ?
- monkeydreams 6y agoIt depends greatly on your setup but, unless you are running some crazy, completely off-grid, system with cheap batteries and cheap inverter, you can expect an inverter to last you longer than this. Most are rated for 10-15 years, with some rated for 25 year lifecycle. As with many things, quality costs, but not all costly inverters are quality, so do your research before you buy.
- xnyan 6y agoThe warranty for most residential solar inverters is around 10 years, though often prorated towards the end of that timeframe. 7 years does not sound crazy, though with good cooling and and decent quality it's probably a tad low.
