I realised this week that my Sunny Boy inverter had stopped working, rather remiss of me that it took a few days before I found out but at least I know now.
SMA Sunny Boy Inverter Dead - Replacement Needed! |
I've tried a few reboots and it looks like it is something that isn't fixable so new inverter is on order. With the better weather (hopefully) coming I can't really afford to have the system off for any significant length of time as every lost kWh costs me 72p now and with 20kWh days that starts to mount up.
One benefit is the onwards move in technology in the 12 years since our system was installed so the new inverter will have much better data capability than the Sunny Boy which used quite clunky Sunny Explorer software and had to be connected via Bluetooth to access it.
Hi there have you thought about upgrading your system panels as my son was quoted for a new system recently i noticed your system was fittted by solar advanced the same company who fitted mine we had a 20 year inverter warranty but havent had any problems to date .i was thinking of getting newer more efficient panels as they lose efficiency over time what do you think
