Choosing the Right Inverter: 5 Critical Factors

Not all inverters are created equal. Here's what smart buyers consider:

  1. Peak vs Continuous Rating: Can it handle sudden power surges?
  2. Efficiency Curve: How does performance change under load?
  3. Cooling Mechanism: Passive vs active thermal management
  4. Protection Features: Over-voltage, reverse polarity, short-circuit
  5. Certifications: CE, RoHS, UL standards compliance

Real-World Application: Solar Case Study

A recent installation in Thailand's off-grid region used EK SOLAR's SMI-2400 model to:
