ABB solar inverter reviews
Overall Rating From 222 Reviews:
Average Customer Rating:
( 4.23 / 5 )
ABB (formerly Power-One) are a huge inverter manufacturer that manufacture inverters under the Aurora brand in China, Italy, the USA, South Africa and Slovakia.
Although they have not quite got 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 they were known as "Power One" but were bought out by multi-billion dollar swiss industrial giant ABB.
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!

| Installation of Aurora 'Power One' PVI 3.0 OUTD Au, April 2012. Failed completely with ERR 031 Oct 2018 - which seems to be a very common problem with these units. Will not be buying another one given our 10 year warranty wasn't honored by ABB and the units are definitely not worth the money. Bought From: ingenereo Review Date: 29 January 2019 |

| The inverter died within warranty, claimed on abb and waited and waited and waited on abb for replacement inverter, ended up buying a sunnyboy , then eventually abb finally supplied a repaired inverter . It is now useful only as a boat anchor-- I used to regard abb as a reputable firm -- that is definitely past tense-- I would recommend them only to my worst enemy.
Now, to the installation which was intended to be an add-on powerwall 2 plus more panels , ordered on solartech -- solarhart -- almost a year ago on the promise of delivery imminent -- well, it is still imminent Bought From: Solartech Energy Solutions Review Date: 7 July 2017 |

| We have a 6.095 kW system and our average use is between 25 to 30 kWh. the new system is putting out a max of 37kWh, so we are very happy with the system.
Electricity bill is now half of what it was prior to installation in February 2017.
One recommendation I would suggest, is to have an electrician install a Timer & switch on the hot water system to further reduce cost Bought From: Adapt Energy Pty Ltd Review Date: 28 March 2017 |

| The information that is available at all times is brilliant, from kW produced to to $$ made by selling back to supplier.

| I recently found my inverter with the ERROR E031. As I recently purchased my property with the solar already installed I had troubles locating the necessary paperwork. After locating my paperwork and trying to find the original installer of the product (which was now insolvent). I finally located an electrician who was willing and comfortable with the system. However the warranty was now 1 week past its expiration date. ABB were unwilling to honour their warranty stating that it was no longer covered. Bought From: Auzion Solar Review Date: 22 July 2016 |

| My first Aurora inverter failed after 3 years and took 2 months to replace under warranty. It was replaced with a refurbished inverter, which has now failed, with the same fault as the original, after two years. It is a few weeks out of the original warranty period, and ABB have advised they will not replace the faulty refurbished replacement. I am very unhappy! If these are rated as one of the two best brands to buy, then all the others must be pretty bad! Bought From: Solahart Review Date: 18 April 2016 |

| Just had issues with my Aurora 2Kw PVI-2000-OUTD-AU model.
What a monumental waste of money that Aurora was. Install in 2010. It took 7 months to get the thing when first ordered and it lasted less than 50 days past the 5 year warranty.
When we chased ABB to see if they'd still honor the warranty they were lightning-fast in saying "nope", but they would be happy to sell me a new one!
Looking at other posts and speaking to three service companies it seems unanimous - Aurora inverters make great paperweights, and that's pretty much the extent of their usefulness. Bought From: Nu Energy Review Date: 22 October 2015 |

| Repeated software issues with interconnect between home WI-Fi and ABB plant viewer display/ information. Installer NSE notified of issue on multiple occasions and Greg stated he would get in touch with ABB re problems. If I waited for his response, I would still be waiting. I ended up dealing direct with ABB technical team and after 3 or 4 repeated manifestations, it now appears OK. The next hurdle will be to get NBN Wi-Fi logged on when installed soon. Again I will deal directly with ABB, negating the waste of time with NSE. Bought From: Northern Sky Electrical Review Date: 4 October 2015 |

| About 16 months on from our original installation date, our grid-connected solar system couldn't be doing better, honestly!
We have just had our system upgraded from the initial Power-One Aurora PVI-3.0 OUTD connected to 9 x 218 watt panels, to adding an additional 5 x 206 watt panels, totalling 2992 watts of total panel power across two panel strings (even though I know the calculation is NOT that simple) and let me just say... the Inverter has never performed better!
Our new daily peak wattage in the Inverter statistics is over 3150 Watts! That's Hyundai positive tolerance solar panels for you! And the most we've generated per day since the upgrade is 17.5KWh! That's $8.75 of real money in the bank (after buying back what we use).
I've never been happier. The electricity company owes ME money!!! Bought From: Future Sustainability Review Date: 12 May 2011 |

| Since having our 2 x 3.6 kw Aurora Inverter system installed we have been extremely happy and have not had a power bill since having our solar power system installed in May 2011. We have not had any issues / problems or troubleshooting. Everything is going along nicely and if we have had any questions at all we only have to telelphone the solar company we purchased our system through (Infinity Solar) and they have been happy to answer our questions.

| The first two ratings (not applicable) cannot be assessed yet but if I had to give an answer I would say excellent. The service from Future Sustainability was the best I have ever experienced since arriving in Australia in 1963, especially from the young sales rep who kept us informed and answered all our questions. He kept in touch afterwards to make sure that the system was performing well and supplied a calculator on computer (software written by himself) for us to easily calculate the savings. Our savings are approximately $1700 per year and we are delighted with this. Bought From: Future Sustainability QLD Review Date: 11 December 2010 |

| We had installed a 3.5 kw inverter in case we wanted to upgrade our 10 panels to 20 into the future. Our advice was an inverter with less capacity was more likely to be worthless as a trade-in into the future. Bought From: LG Energy Review Date: 29 November 2010 |
