Photovoltaic inverter generates heat when working

It’s well understood that heat affects PV modules – they are tested and rated at 25 degrees Celsius and every degree above that causes power output to drop by up to .5% per degree,. . What is not as well understood is that heat also affects solar inverters. The reasons are not the same – although the solar inverter has. . As the inverter works to convert DC power to AC power, it generates heat. This heat is added to the ambient temperature of the inverter enclosure, and the inverter dissipates the heat.
