An in-depth analysis on why I believe inverters are the best solar solution for the mass consumer market.

Here’s how I calculated the chance of at least one of ten microinverters failing over 25 years:
1. First convert 0.05% chance of a unit failing over 25 years into a probability: 0.0005
2. Then convert this into the probability of a unit surviving over 25 years: 1 - 0.0005 = 0.9995
3. Now work out the chance of all ten microinverters surviving over 25 years: 0.9995 to the power of 10 = 0.995011235
4. Finally, convert this into a chance that at least one microinverter will fail: 1 - 0.995011235 = 0.004988765 (which is roughly a 0.5% or 1 in 200 chance)

If you're getting a lot from my videos, and would like to support me in my efforts to help everyone, here are a couple of ways to do this:
1. You could [ Ссылка ] :-)
2. If you're thinking of switching energy supplier to Octopus Energy. If you call them and give them my referral code ("blue-wind-201") and my name ("Gary Waite") and we'll both get a £50 credit to our accounts as a result! [ Ссылка ]
I believe Octopus Energy is doing more than any other energy company in the UK to take us forward to a bright renewable future, and I'll make making reference to them and their initiatives in future videos.
