Tips and Hints 

Power Inverter Efficiency measurement is a useful tool to analyze how good an inverter 

is functioning. A good inverter should have an efficiency over 90 %. Bear in mind that an 

inverter usually has its highest efficiency when used between 40 to 70 % of its peak 

power. If an inverter is always used at 100 % of its maximum power you may consider 

installation of a device with a higher power. Examples of other factors that determine 

overall system efficiency: the diameter of cabling is probably too small causing losses 

and inverter temperature that may be decreased by a better air flow.
