Common Solar Generator Failures in EPC Projects
Introduction
Many EPC project failures are not installation errors, but product-level issues.
Understanding these risks helps EPCs avoid repeat failures.
Inverter-Related Failures
Common issues:
Overload protection mismatch
Poor heat dissipation
Low-grade power components
These lead to:
Shutdowns
Reduced efficiency
Shortened lifespan
Battery & BMS Problems
Battery issues often include:
Cell imbalance
Inadequate thermal protection
Weak BMS logic
Especially critical in LiFePO4 systems.
How EPCs Can Reduce Failure Rates
Best practices:
Require full aging tests
Verify battery configuration
Work with engineering-capable manufacturers
Conclusion
Reliable EPC projects start with reliable product design, not post-install fixes.
