How does a solar inverter work
The lifespan of a solar battery varies depending on the type of battery, environmental factors and usage, but solar batteries typically last between 5-15 years.
Solar inverters play a crucial role in a solar energy system, but their lifespan is generally shorter than that of solar tiles, meaning an inverter will probably need to be replaced after five to 15 years, depending on its type and quality.
When installed correctly, solar panels are very safe and pose a minimal fire risk. In fact, solar panels are less of a fire risk than common household appliances, such as the toaster, washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.
