ABB solar inverters review

ABB Customer Service: 1800 222 435

ABB are a multi-billion dollar Swiss industrial giant that manufacture solar inverters (among other things) in China, Italy, the USA, South Africa and Slovakia.

Although they have not quite achieved the brand recognition of SMA, I personally rate them as just as good! They have a reputation for reliability and great customer support, and as a bonus they tend to be a bit cheaper than an SMA.

Up to 2013, their inverters were known under the "Power One" brand, when Power One was bought out by the company. The move certainly didn't impact on quality, which remained high.

ABB cover all solar inverter market segments, from residential models as small as 1.2kW capacity, right through to thumping great turnkey inverter stations of 6,660kW!

ABB are truly a huge company - which makes an ABB inverter a very low risk buy.

As you'll see from the ABB inverter reviews below, failures are very rare. This Italian stallion of an inverter gets the thumbs up from me!

ABB Inverter Warranty Notes

ABB offer a five year warranty, and depending on product and market, that can be extended to 10, 15 or 20 years at an extra cost. Sometimes extra warrany may be included as a promotion or part of a solar package deal.

Having inverter problems? Your first action for having the issue resolved is to contact the installer who installed your ABB solar inverter. That business has the responsibility of attending to any warranty related issues.

In a situation where the original installer is no longer contactable, for example if the business has closed, ABB advise customers should contact the company's warranty department on the number listed above. ABB will then send the customer a warranty claim form via email, which the customer needs to complete and return. ABB will then arrange for the repair/replacement of the solar inverter.
