Inverters are not 100% efficient. Most have 85%–95% efficiency, meaning some power is lost during conversion. Also, power factor (how efficiently a device uses the electricity) affects perceived output.
Frankensolar supplies Solar Modules made by Hanwha Q-Cells, LG, LONGi Solar, Trinasolar, and AXITEC. And Racking by Schletter, Roof-Tech, Polar Racking and Deger.
Compare these 30kW commercial solar inverters from ABB, Fronius, SMA, SolarEdge, SatCon, Solectria, Schneider Electric, PV Powered, Power One, or Advanced Energy. Combine them with solar panels for a complete home system to qualify for tax credit and rebates.
When the insulation impedance of the photovoltaic array is detected to be less than the specified value, the inverter must display a fault. For non-isolated inverters, it must be shut down and cannot be connected to the grid.
