Huawei On-Grid Inverter Review

March 22 2021

Huawei is a notable name in the communication and mobile industry, yet the organization is likewise a worldwide stalwart in the solar industry and especially solar inverters. Building years of experience and involvement with enormous scale business and utility solar farms, Huawei entered the residential solar market in 2018 with a powerful, lightweight hybrid solar inverter that offered a great scope of highlights at an exceptionally competitive cost. Now after two years, Huawei delivered the second-era domestic Hybrid Inverter, the Fusion Solar, along with a wide range of 3-phase hybrid and huge commercial inverters with cutting-edge abilities.

Company Background

Huawei, pronounced "Hua Way' is a Chinese communication and innovation organization known to a great extent for its cell phones and now turned into the world's second-biggest mobile manufacturer behind Samsung. Having developed quickly since 2013, Huawei currently has more than 190,000 representatives in 170 nations. Be that as it may, the organization's innovative work capacity is an astounding 90,000 representatives. One can say that they commit approximately half of the labor force to R&D.

With respect to Solar, Huawei was generally obscuring external Asia because they are mostly centered around the Chinese and more extensive Asian business and utility-scale market. Curiously enough, they only produce string-inverters, not central inverters, and believe that string tech is predominant and is turning into the business pattern because of improved monitoring and less exorbitant sustenance.

A Little about Inverters

An Inverter is a device that transforms the DC power delivered by Solar Panels into grid-viable AC power. String inverters, (for example, the ones in Huawei's product list) have customarily been the norm in the solar industry. They send the electricity delivered by solar modules to a central inverter that transforms it from DC power to the usable AC power that powers home appliances. Comparatively, micro-inverters, then again, convert DC to AC power at every individual panel and take into account monitoring and power regulation at the module level. This is valuable for homes that are affected by shades from clouds, trees, or different structures.

Top Performing Huawei Inverters

PV Evolution Labs (PVEL) is an organization that independently tests the reliability of solar inverters. The tests are deliberate, with solar inverter producers paying to take the testing. This testing interaction is universally acknowledged and is an exact impression of the solar inverter's performance. In 2019, four inverters from the Huawei SUN2000 product range were named as top-performing inverters across various tests conducted. Albeit the inverters conveyed into testing were US models, but it tends to be sensibly expected that the models sold in Pakistan receive the same technology and features. The test results, categories and winning model of Huawei are as follows.

Testing Category	Huawei Named Top Performers
High Temperature Operation	Huawei SUN2000-11.4KTL-US
Low Temperature Operation	Huawei SUN2000-11.4KTL-US
MPPT Efficiency	Huawei SUN2000-30KTL-US
Conversion Efficiency	Huawei SUN2000-30KTL-US Huawei SUN2000-375W-USP0
Energy Harvest	Huawei SUN2000-28KTL Huawei SUN2000-30KTL-US
Transient Response	Huawei SUN2000-11.4KTL-US
30 Day Runtime Performance	Huawei SUN2000-11.4KTL-US

Warranty of Huawei Grid-Tie Inverters

Huawei offers a long-term guarantee on their inverters that covers damage, manufacturing fault and any other such issues. The warranty varies with different models of the inverter. For instance, single-phase smart PV inverters have a warranty of 10 years while three-phase smart PV inverters have a warranty of 5 years.

Most Common Huawei on-Grid Inverters

Huawei has been offering solar inverters for residential, commercial and industrial projects in Pakistan. The inverters are known for their reliability, affordability and efficient performance. These inverters have earned quite a reputation in Pakistan market because of their exceptional performance in hot and arid weather of the country. The most commonly available inverters from Huawei in Pakistan are as follows:

·SUN2000-10KTL-M0 – 10kw

·SUN2000-20KTL-M0 – 20kw

·SUN2000-36KTL-M0 – 36kw

·SUN2000-60KTL-M0 – 60kw

·SUN2000-100KTL-M1 – 100kw

Is Huawei Good For Your Solar Project?

On the off chance that you need an on-grid inverter for a personal project, Huawei offers affordable, efficient, and durable inverters. Huawei is estimated less expensive than its significant European rivals (Fronius and SMA). Not only this, while inspecting the item details, guarantee periods, and adaptability – it also offers more benefits, as explained in the features above. Huawei has been recently chosen for a 110 MW solar project in Greece and has also completed mega power plants at various locations, including a 50 MW project in India. It shows that Huawei is an excellent option for solar panel installation in Pakistan. As we would see it, Huawei Inverters are an incredible choice for most ventures and are probably going to have a solid situation in the solar market in the future. You can trust on Huawei inverters for your solar project without having to worry about your investment going to waste or causing any issues.
