GEM Energy’s Evaluation
GEM Energy has been installing ABB solar inverters (formally Power-One) for many years and experienced exceptionally low failure rates while under the Power-One brand. Since ABB purchased the Power-One brand, some changes were made to the manufacturing process, and there has been a noticeable decline in reliability.
Two years ago ABB solar inverters would have scored a 10/10, today it scores a 6/10 based on its strong financial backing and its value for money.
ABB has also just released a 50kW, three-phase string inverter which is an excellent choice for large-scale commercial projects.
ABB solar inverters do not come with WIFI or Bluetooth monitoring capability as standard.
