About Solatra, Solar Inverters

Solatra solar inverters review

Solatra solar inverters were installed in Australia from around 2011, but the brand had disappeared from the Australian scene by the end of 2013. There's not even an archived version of the Solatra web site available. If not for a couple of forum discussions and references to old CEC listings (and this page), it would seem like the brand never existed.

The Solatra SLT-2100TL was a 2.1kW inverter with a single MPPT and claimed efficiency of 97%. This unit was IP65 rated (suitable for outdoor installation), measured 590 x 360 x 313 mm and weighed 15 kg. 

While offering comprehensive data logging that could be be read off the LCD along with figures for instantaneous power and kWh generated for the current day, it was reported that the display DC values were often incorrect. This was fixed by Solatra with a firmware update, but a year or so later the company disappeared.

The warranty on Solatra inverters was reportedly 5 years. But it doesn't matter how long a warranty is if the company isn't around to honour it. While warranty responsibility also falls to the importer and installer, it can be a nightmare to chase up a claim when the manufacturer disappears.

An inverter is a crucial part of a solar power system, so choose an inverter brand carefully before parting with your cash.

First Solatra inverter packed up only 2 weeks after installation. 2nd Solatra unit lasted around 9 months before there were problems with the display and resetting itself several times during the day. This unit was replaced quickly with a Eversol unit and whilst it's working it has very little data information to monitor the units daily output and weekly output and at night time the unit switches off so any readings(though little) need to be recorded whilst theres still daylight, whereas the Solatra unit gave you every bit of information you required to work out your solar units output day or night.
