Find out more about this interesting solar inverter; manufactured in Melbourne.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Transcript begins &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><b>Finn:<\/b> For our installer profile this month, we&#8217;re chatting to Melbourne company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installer-review\/essential-solar\/\"> Essential Solar<\/a> about their business and why the inverter of choice for many of their installations is the Victorian-made MIL-Solar Eclipse inverter.<\/p>\n<p><b>David Bruce:<\/b> G&#8217;day &#8211; my name is David Bruce from Essential Solar. So, Finn, thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about Aussie made products for the solar industry. Today, I&#8217;d like to talk about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/mil-solar-review.html\"> Eclipse inverter from MIL-Solar<\/a>. This inverter was designed and developed by a company called MIL-Systems who are based in Footscray, Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>MIL-Systems&#8217; business has been to design power electronic products for the Australian Defence Force. So, they&#8217;re very much used to designing for harsh environments &#8211; typically, the Australian environment can be a lot hotter than it is in Europe and especially in China too.<\/p>\n<p>We love it. We believe that there is a long future for this inverter. It&#8217;s a very well-designed product. It&#8217;s got this fantastic heat sink on the front, which does a couple of things. One is it removes the need for a fan. So, it takes away that noise that we get from fan inverters, giving us a bit of flexibility to install it in a variety of different places, including inside a home.<\/p>\n<p>But the other thing about having such a good heat sink on there is that it allows the internal components to run at a much lower temperature and increase the reliability.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;A Very Reliable Inverter&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a great deal of confidence in this company. They know what they&#8217;re doing. We&#8217;ve been installing this inverter now for about three years. And up until now, we haven&#8217;t had a single product failure, which is quite remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s an interesting question. Why then doesn&#8217;t everybody want to buy this inverter?<\/p>\n<p>The reason for that is because most of the Australian industry doesn&#8217;t offer this inverter for sale; and they don&#8217;t offer it for sale because it doesn&#8217;t have a great marketing push behind it. So, our customers aren&#8217;t aware of it and that can be quite difficult. It can be quite difficult going to a customer and explaining to them the benefits of something that they&#8217;ve never heard of.<\/p>\n<p>So, much of the industry prefers not to even bother and just to run with these well-known brands that are out there.<\/p>\n<p>At Essential Solar, we prefer to actually go out and offer the customer something that we think is right for them. And so I will give this to our sales team and we will promote that as being Australia-made and not because for any charitable reason. We don&#8217;t want to promote MIL-Solar just because they&#8217;re made in Australia. We want to promote it because it&#8217;s a very reliable inverter. It&#8217;s got fantastic support. They&#8217;re here for the long term and the specifications and the performance is just perfect for Australia.<\/p>\n<p>So, when MIL-Solar began the development of this product, they wanted to aim at the high end. They aimed at the specifications that you would tend to see from a European inverter &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/fronius-review.html\"> Fronius<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/sma-review.html\"> SMA<\/a> &#8211; and the price reflects that as well. It&#8217;s around about the same price as those European inverters.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a single-phase inverter, it&#8217;s got higher input voltage range so it gives us flexibility for design, which is fantastic. They&#8217;ve set up their manufacturing in Footscray, and they&#8217;ve done that deliberately so that they can support the Australian market; not just this year, not just for the next few years, but to do this for the long term. And I think that&#8217;s a very exciting thing and a very important thing for the solar industry in this country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Transcript ends.<\/p>\n<p>This segment was from SolarQuotes TV <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australian-solar-sqtv11-mb2272\/\">Episode 11: The Australian-Made Solar Edition<\/a> \u2013 showcasing Australian researchers and manufacturers transforming the global renewable energy scene with their technologies.<\/p>\n<p>You can find specifications and estimated pricing for the MIL-Solar Eclipse and many other inverters on SolarQuotes&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/#compare\">solar inverter comparison table<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> Read Ronald&#8217;s in-depth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/mil-solar-review.html\">review of MIL-Solar here<\/a> and pick up some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/\">tips on choosing the best solar inverter<\/a> for your situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard of the Australian-made MIL-Solar Eclipse inverter, you wouldn&#8217;t be alone.
