EFFICIENCY - Inverter efficiencies of 98% and higher should be sought
High efficiency inverters typically have low breakdown rates
100 kW
TEMPERATURE - Inverters have reduced output or automatically shut down beyond certain prescribed temperatures
So, make sure your inverter can operate well at high temperatures

LOCAL SUPPORT - Inverters could break down, so ensure you have local service support
Else, in case of failure, repairs may delay, leading to significant generation loss
DUST/WATER PROTECTION - IP (Ingress Protection) Ratings signify protection from dust and water
Inverters with low IP Rating may face frequent breakdowns
Poor inverter selection could result in significant generation loss, even if you have invested in good quality panels.
Ensure the following in your inverters:
