Built for Pakistan: how ANICSUN inverters perform in extreme weather
Pakistan is a country blessed with a range of weather and climate types, which means that the country faces both extreme heat and extreme cold, and also everything in between. This makes for some interesting dynamics, especially for the energy skyline and in connection with the solar energy revolution that Pakistan is currently going through. More specifically, how do solar energy systems fare in extreme weather, and how do ANICSUN inverters perform in extreme heat or cold? This blog post will deal with just that, and we’ll understand how quality plays a major part in ensuring that performance isn’t affected by extreme weather.
Extreme weather: how it affects solar energy performance
Like every machine or system that operates in our atmosphere, it reacts to the weather or temperature changes accordingly. And a solar energy system isn’t all that different in that regard; in fact, even the solar panels, which are built durable and tough considering their requirement for being in the atmosphere soaking up all that sunlight, can still show a dwindling of performance in extreme weather. And it is essentially something that all systems, electrical or mechanical have to contend with. Once the atmosphere gets too hot or too cold, it affects the functioning of the system, and depending on how well the system is built, how able is it to resist said effects and the quality of a system all determine how well will it be able to stand up to the temperature extremes.
During extremely cold weather, such as the climate that the northern part of Pakistan regularly faces, solar energy generation may be affected; but that is not inherently due to the climate itself, rather than the availability of sunlight, and the ability of sunlight to raise the temperature of the solar panel. You see, it is the heat of sunlight that actually allows the panel to generate the current, and if that heat isn’t enough to generate energy, the consumer is going to experience a sharp drop in the generation capacity of the solar panel. Besides that, all of the other equipment essentially works fine in cold weather, since it is extreme heat that could potentially affect the functioning of other parts of the system including solar inverters and solar batteries. Still, it is recommended to keep an eye out for those parts as well.
Extreme heat has been documented to affect the functioning of the solar energy system; not necessarily the solar panels, but the solar inverters and batteries, since they have an energy-intensive job that can get affected by high temperatures. In fact, solar inverters need proper ventilation and come with fans and cooling systems in order to ensure that excessive heat does not end up reducing the lifespan of the solar inverter, which is something that a faulty cooling system or improper ventilation may cause. Therefore, extreme heat could be a factor in the dwindling performance of a solar energy system.
How do ANICSUN inverters hold up to extreme weather?
Quality is among the major factor in determining how well does a solar inverter hold up to extreme weather conditions. In the case of ANICSUN, they understand that the Pakistani climate range is quite broad; from high temperatures to low temperatures, systems will have to face it all, making their inverters essentially ready for anything. They are built durable, resilient and resistant to any ill-effects of extreme high or low temperatures, making them the perfect solar inverters for your system, especially if you live in a place where the climate can reach extremes, and still want optimal performance from your solar inverter year-round.
