PV SMA Inverter replacement wanted

[newholland]

Good morning,

One of our inverters has failed for the 3rd time - SMA tripower 12,000TL. No warranty left.

where is the best place to buy a new one - who can supply at cheapest price?
or, who can advise with regard to other manufacturers being compatible.

This is one of a pair of SMA 12,000's which is running a 23.5kw solar PV.

Thank you for any help or advice.

If anybody wants to quote for a SMA tripower 12,000TL on a supply only basis, then please feel free to PM.

i have had similar problems and have extended all of our warranties. i think i have about 100 in total on a number of ground and roof mounted schemes. most went in in 2011 and early 2012. They settled down after about 18 months and we only have one or two that play up each year now. We did take out extended warranties on all. i think they are 15 year warranties.

i use Beba Energy for all our sites and the O & M. their technical director is Darren Oliver. i find him nothing short of brilliant 07860 546 756 [email protected]

hope this helps

sma had a run of this model, we had a set of four replaced four times over the space of about 18 months, there was a batch of faulty transistors in them that caused failure.
