Startup Voltage
Startup voltage is the minimum DC voltage an inverter needs before it can begin operating and converting solar energy.
Product(s)
EI Inverter (EU)
A battery storage ready hybrid inverter available in single phase and three phase options.
GO Inverter
A battery storage ready hybrid inverter that can be AC or DC coupled for new or retrofit solar installations
What does Startup Voltage mean?
Startup voltage is the minimum DC voltage an inverter needs before it can begin operating and converting solar energy.
Why does startup voltage matter?
Lower startup voltage can help an inverter begin producing earlier in the day or under lower-light conditions, depending on the array design. Nobody likes a solar system that hits snooze too many times.
