Have you used them before? Are they any good?

 

[SolarCity]

I'd be interested to hear others' opinions on these inverters. I've not used them but if availability becomes a problem then they may be an alternative.

About 20yrs ago I worked as an industrial electronics service engineer. Used to fix all manner of inverters of a different flavour - variable speed motor drives. Remember a Danfoss drive coming in for repair one day. Built like a brick outhouse and lightyears ahead of the competition in terms of sophistication. If their PV inverters continue the tradition, I'd expect them to be very good.

What about Kostal inverters, anyone have experience of?

thx

We were looking at them because they've got 3 mpp's in 4kpw version and 2 in the 3 and 3.6. Household name well understood by customer, an easy sway if you're struggling for stock I'd think.

I have used quite a lot of drives from different manufacturers including Danfoss. ABB solutions have been by far the best for me. ABB, Vacon & Danfoss may have some kind of relationship between the companies.

Danfoss have always had a decent enough name in variable speed drives, and their inverter offerings for PV seem to be ok too on paper but I've heard conflicting feedback on actual performance and reliability - always the way I guess. One thing to note - leakage currents in their inverters seems to be a bit on the high side.

We're providing the Eltek THEIA range of inverters with the single-phase HE-t model (HF transformer) having 97.3% peak efficiency and built-in webserver with full colour LCD. The 3.8 unit is capped at 16A on the output too. 10yrs warranty as standard.

 

[brandoncosta]

current leakage on their drives has been below average for me.

A company in my area has blown two danfoss inverters up. How would you do that

 

[SolarCity]

Dynamite?

 

[brandoncosta]

Availability has been a problem for me too. Danfoss started manufacturing some drives in the US this year.

Here's my Danfoss dealer.

We've fitted a few Danfoss TLX15's and they seem ok apart from the display went on one after 6months but they sent a new one out pretty quick and a claim form for changing it. I find them a bit easier to configure as you can just plug in an ethernet cable and away you go, no need to mess about with blutooth etc. Found it very easy to update the firmware and change the parameters to G59/240 as well.
