Abstract:
Large numbers of grid-connected PV systems are being installed throughoutthe world. In a PV system where PV modules have expected lifetimes of up to
20 years it is desirable that the other system components have a comparable
expected lifetime, or at least a predictable lifetime. The PV inverter is a
key component with regard to reliability and lifetime. Procedures to test PV
inverters for reliability are discussed in the paper and results from tests
in the laboratory and the field are presented. 4 refs.
