Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a solar battery last?
High-quality tubular batteries can last 3-5 years with good maintenance, while Lithium-Ion batteries can last 10+ years depending on discharge depth.
Why is my inverter beeping?
A continuous beep usually indicates an overload, a battery fault, or a blown internal fuse. It's best to have a technician diagnose the exact fault code.
