Photovoltaic inverter is the equipment that converts direct current into alternating current, which is a crucial part of photovoltaic power generation system. However, if the photovoltaic inverter is not used for a long time, will it lose power? This problem relates to the working principle and internal components of the inverter.
First of all, the photovoltaic inverter is by converting the direct current converted by solar photovoltaic panels into alternating current for household electricity. Under normal circumstances, the inverter will automatically work according to the solar lighting condition and the needs of the household electricity. In general, the inverter will work in the case of light, when there is no light or home electricity demand will automatically enter a dormant state.
If the inverter is not used for a long time, its static power consumption will be relatively low, and only very little power will be consumed. However, if not used for a long time, some components inside the inverter may be aging or damaged, such as capacitors, thyristors, and so on. The aging of these components will cause the efficiency of the inverter to decrease or not work properly, resulting in power loss.
In addition, the inverter that is not used for a long time may also be affected by environmental factors. For example, long-term exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, or exposure to the sun and rain may affect the performance of the inverter and increase the possibility of power loss. Therefore, even if the inverter is not used for a long time, it needs to be checked and maintained regularly to ensure that it works normally.
In general, the long-term use of photovoltaic inverters will not lead to a large amount of power loss, but in the case of long-term use will increase the risk of inverter aging, thereby affecting its performance and work efficiency. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the photovoltaic power generation system, it is recommended to check and maintain the inverter regularly to ensure that it can work normally and improve the power generation efficiency.
