Huawei Inverters FAQs

Huawei makes excellent inverters with advanced technology. They're particularly strong in smart features and efficiency. The premium price is justified for those who want the latest technology.

Quality inverters last 10-15 years. Premium brands like Victron and SMA often exceed 15 years. Budget brands may need replacement after 5-7 years.

Size your inverter based on peak load. For most homes: 5kW (essentials), 8kW (comfortable), 10kW+ (full house). Always size slightly larger than your current needs.
