In another post, which contained the video, he again mentioned what caused the 12kVA inverter to burn.
His statement:
“This is the inverter that got burnt due to high PV.”
After that, he advised people who wish to install an inverter on the proper steps to take to avoid issues like this.
He continued:
“Always read the nameplate before installing any inverter and work with 80% PV. The most common reasons inverters get burnt are overloading and overvoltage from PV. I repair so I know.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a young Nigerian man shared his experience with a 1kVA solar generator he bought one month ago, alongside a 390W solar panel.
