Save on Components

Our stack replacement program lets you save up to 30% off market price on your Semikube IGBT components.

COST OF FAILURE
IGBT stack assemblies like the Semikube cost $13,000 just for a single component by itself. That does not include diagnosis, labor for the replacement, additional stacks, or the down time associated with the failure.
FAILURE RATE
The average failure rate is 2%, and up to 4% in extreme environments. The expected life span is 6 years. Now factor in how many inverters you have. Every inverter can expect a minimum 2 stack replacements throughout it's 25 year lifetime.

COMPLETE REPLACEMENT PACKAGE

Solar Support offers an all-inclusive stack replacement program, including diagnosis, training, installation, refurbishment, and warranty.

We deliver the components, training, and service you need to fully handle stack failures in your central inverters.

This includes complete diagnosis and data analysis of the failure, brand new (NOT refurbished) Semikube IGBT stacks, and a full day of hands-on training for up to six service or maintenance staff on-site (with multiple unit purchase).

Unlike other providers, we don't replace just one Semikube. Ancillary damage is common when one stack fails - damaging the other two stacks in the inverter. In turn, the two older damaged stacks risk re-damaging the new component. As these stacks age, replacing only the failed stack isn’t viable. Failures will continue to compound, damaging other components with each subsequent failure.

Our 1-year warranty for NEW components far exceeds the limited, short-term warranty typically offered by OEMs on refurbished OLD stacks -- and we do it at a fraction of the price. Plus OEMs’ warranties only cover workmanship of the repair -- while Solar Support covers the whole component.

Our program also includes refurbishment options for your damaged stacks. We supply custom, reusable cases to store and ship your components safely.

Take advantage of our complete package and maintain your up-time guarantees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What central inverters is the Semikube installed in?

There are many inverters that support the Semikron Semikube . Most notable are the SMA Sunny Central CP10 500-900 series, Sunny Central 500HEUS, Sunny Central 250U and Sunny Central 500U.

Do I need to replace all 3 Semikubes?

This is tough to answer, the manufacturer, Semikron, recommends that all 3 stacks are replaced anytime one fails. However our data and experience indicate that a single stack can be used to repair the majority of failures.

Are all Semikube versions compatible?

No, certain manufacturing versions are not compatible with others. They will work together for a time, but it reduces the overall effectiveness and reliability of the entire semikube stack assembly. Solar Support provides compatibability information with every stack sold. We can help you determine what versions you have, and what versions are compatible with yours.

Are your Semikubes refurbished or new?

These are brand new Semikubes straight from the factory. We only sell brand new Semikubes unless stated otherwise.

How many should I buy?

The manufacuturer expects a 2% failure across the board in normal operating conditions. They also estimate a 5-7 year life span, once again assuming normal operating conditions. Summer time, or harsh enviroments can dramatically increase this failure rate and lifespan. We recommend having 1 set of 3 at all times per 100 Inverters. This ensures you can perform one complete replacement, or three partial replacements.

How do I know when to replace a stack?

Solar Support has extensive experience replacing Semikubes. We can teach your team how to troubleshoot these failures, or you can provide us the failure data for evaluation. We provide free data analysis for all of our customers.

What's the lead time?

The lead time is roughly 16-20 weeks. Which is why NOW is the best time to place your order!
