With the advancement in manufacturing and fabrication process, utilization of PV energy systems is increased throughout the globe which leads to the increase of research over lifespan and reliability index on an entire PV system. This increment results in low average manufacturing as well running costs of the entire PV system. The most important portion of the PV system apart from the PV module is the inverter unit which provides conversion and synchronization between the PV system and OLGS. With vast research carried over design as well controlling the architecture of Inverter, it becomes a tedious task to choose the optimal design based on the application area and capital cost. In this paper, we discuss issues faced by the inverter units on the platform of reliability and life span along with the suitable survey. Further to conclude the work result of Inverter unit connected to selected PV module when connected to OLGS.

“…6 that the optimum tilt angle varies throughout the year, in winter the highest tilt angle (50°) is optimum (because the sun is lower in the sky) and in summer the lowest angle (20°) gives the highest irradiance level. In Algiers, Algeria, the PV panels are usually tilted at 25° to favor energy production in summer [31]. In Fig.…”

“…It is reported that PV modules mainly affected by encapsulant discoloration undergo linear degradation over time, while other degradation modes lead to non-linear degradation [41]. In [31], degradation of power performance of 90 crystalline silicon PV modules is evaluated after 11 years of exposure in the Bouzaréah region in Algeria, where the panels were divided into 3 subgroups. It has been found that the average yearly degradation rate of these modules in the Bouzaréah region in Algeria is given by 0.55% per year.…”

The PV inverter lifetime is affected by mission profiles, which include the solar irradiance and ambient temperature of the installation site. In previous research, the design for reliability approach has been used to evaluate the reliability of the PV inverter, where the solar irradiances have been measured on a fixed tilt and orientation angle. In most cases, the tilt is chosen to be the latitude angle and the orientation is facing south for maximum energy production throughout the year. However, the impact of the tilt and orientation of the PV array on the inverter lifetime has not been considered so far. The tradeoff between the PV energy yield and the inverter lifetime can be analysed for different PV array positioning. This paper thus evaluates the lifetime of the PV inverter with varying the tilt and orientation angle of PV panels, where the PV panel degradation rate is also taken into account. The evaluation is based on the mission profiles of Algiers, Algeria. The results reveal that orientation has a strong impact on the PV inverter loading and certain orientations result in high PV energy production and long lifetime of the PV inverter. It is also shown that the PV panel aging in Algeria has a significant impact on the lifetime estimation of the PV inverter for different orientations.

“…There are different types of solar PV cells available in the market and they range from monocrystalline, multi crystalline, thin film, and amorphous silicon cells. [1][2][3][4][5] The panels can be placed in fields or on the rooftops of buildings, connected to an inverter for the direct solar energy conversion to an alternating current. However, the performance of a photovoltaic cell is mostly influenced by both external and internal factors which include radiation, wind, electrical losses, structural features, pollution, visual losses, aging, temperature, and shading.…”
