KOSTAL - Highest quality, safety and reliability "Made in Germany"

Anyone interested in photovoltaics, e-mobility and modern energy solutions rightly demands high standards of quality, safety and reliability.

KOSTAL inverters support the safety of a PV system

Because safety is important to us!

The inverter plays an important role in the operation of solar modules, as it converts the direct current into alternating current, which is fed into the power grid. This can generate a high electrical voltage that is potentially dangerous. A malfunctioning or unsafe inverter can lead to electric shocks, fires or other serious damage.

To ensure safety, various factors should be considered when selecting an inverter. The inverter should be certified by a recognised certification body and meet all relevant safety standards. Sufficient insulation is also important to ensure safe operation. The inverter should be properly earthed to reduce the risk of electric shock. Overall, it is important to look for safety features and certifications when selecting an inverter to ensure that it is safe and reliable. That's why KOSTAL.

Why is security so important?

Safety is of central importance for an inverter for several reasons. Firstly, it protects both the solar installation and the connected power grid from potential damage caused by overloads, short circuits or voltage fluctuations. A safely designed inverter has integrated protection mechanisms, such as surge protection and earthing devices, which minimise such risks.

Secondly, the safety of the inverter ensures the protection of people interacting with the system by preventing electric shocks or other hazards. Thirdly, a safe inverter contributes to the overall reliability of the system by maintaining stable operating conditions and preventing failures. Finally, safety goes hand in hand with compliance with legal regulations and standards. Overall, safety is crucial for the protection of people, equipment and the entire energy infrastructure.

Why is an inverter so important in combination with a photovoltaic system?

An inverter is so important in conjunction with a photovoltaic system because it converts the direct current generated by the photovoltaic system into alternating current that can be fed into the electricity grid. Without an inverter, it would not be possible to utilise the electricity produced by the photovoltaic system.

An inverter therefore has a major influence on the performance and reliability of a photovoltaic system. A good inverter should have high efficiency, high reliability and a long service life to ensure optimum performance of the photovoltaic system.

The inverter is also important for monitoring and controlling the photovoltaic system. Some inverters have intelligent controls that ensure that the inverter always operates at optimum performance. They are also equipped with a comprehensive protection mechanism that protects against overloading, short circuits and other faults. It is also the interface for system expansions such as battery backup, heat pumps and more. The PLENTICORE from KOSTAL offers all this and is therefore always the right choice.

Why is safety a key decision criterion when buying an inverter?

The safety of an inverter is a key factor for the reliable operation of a photovoltaic system. It not only protects the technology, but also the users from potential dangers such as overloading, short circuits or fires. A safe inverter offers clear added value for customers, ensures higher yields, improves amortisation and contributes to environmental protection through longevity.

Added value for customers through protective mechanisms

A high-quality inverter has comprehensive protective functions that protect both the solar modules and the entire electrical system from damage. These include overvoltage protection, overheating protection, residual current detection and automatic shutdowns, which prevent the worst from happening in an emergency.

Higher yields through safe continuous operation

A safe inverter minimises the risk of operational interruptions due to technical problems or external influences. Intelligent protection mechanisms ensure that the system runs stably and continuously generates electricity, thereby maximising the yield.

Faster amortisation due to lower risks

Unsafe or inferior inverters can cause high follow-up costs due to defects, whether through repairs or loss of yield. A robust and tested safety architecture prevents these risks and ensures that the investment pays for itself more quickly.

CO₂ reduction through durable technology

A safe inverter lasts longer as it is protected against premature wear and damage. This means fewer devices need to be replaced, which saves resources and improves the carbon footprint. In addition, safe operation prevents fires or power failures that could otherwise cause further environmental pollution.

Compliance with standards and regulations

A safe inverter fulfils all necessary international and national safety standards. This not only gives customers the certainty that they are using a tested product, but also protects them from insurance claims or legal problems in the event of an incident.

The safety of an inverter is essential for trouble-free operation, system protection and the sustainable use of solar energy. Thanks to intelligent protection mechanisms, robust technology and compliance with high safety standards, customers benefit from higher yields, faster amortisation and a better carbon footprint.
