This comprehensive review delves into the performance of a 6kW Inverex Veyron solar system installed in Gulistan-e-Johar, Block 12. The installation, featuring nine 585W A-grade solar panels, prioritized optimal sun exposure despite existing shadows. A key focus of this review is a rigorous load test designed to showcase the system's capabilities under significant demand. This involved running multiple high-power appliances simultaneously, including air conditioning units and various household electronics.The results of the load test demonstrate the Inverex Veyron's efficiency and robustness, even with partial sun occlusion. The review also compares the Inverex Veyron's price and performance to other inverters on the market, such as the Itel IP54 and higher-end options like Solex Solace and Nitrox IP65. Ultimately, this assessment provides valuable insights into the practical performance and value proposition of the Inverex Veyron 6kW solar system, both with and without battery backup.
Pros And Cons
- Good option for a budget of around Rs 5.25 lakh
- Operates without battery
- May face shutdown if load is increased beyond capacity (around 1.42 kW at 4:00 pm with reduced sunlight)
- Very good inverter
- Available for approximately ₹172000

Installation Process and System Overview
The installation took place in Gulistan-e-Johar Block 12, involving the setup of a 6kW solar system. The team efficiently completed the structure for nine 585W A-grade solar panels. Careful consideration was given to panel orientation to maximize sun exposure, even accounting for existing building shadows and a water tank.
The installation included a meticulous process of panel stringing, connecting them to an Inverex Veyron 6kW inverter. The inverter, notably, operates without a battery, offering a streamlined solar setup. The team also addressed the client's request for easy panel cleaning, influencing the final panel positioning.
Load Test and Performance Evaluation
A comprehensive load test was conducted to showcase the system's capabilities. The test included running a 1.5-ton AC unit at 26°C, five inverter fans, and all lights on one floor of the house. Additionally, a second 1.5-ton AC unit was also tested.
Even with this significant load, the system performed admirably. The test recorded an active load of 1.42 kW at 4:30 PM, even with the sun partially obscured by shadows. A kitchen fan, lights, inverter fridge, and drip freezer were all running during this testing.
Further load testing showed an increase to 2.4kW after switching on grid power, adding an extra 1-ton AC and the 1.5 ton AC, demonstrating the system's efficient hybrid mode operation.
Inverter Options and Conclusion
The review highlighted the Inverex Veyron 6kW inverter as a strong contender, priced around Rs 5.25 lakh. It is compared to the IP54 Itel inverter, available for approximately ₹172000. The Solex Solace and Nitrox IP65 inverters were also suggested for clients with larger budgets seeking waterproof and heat-proof options.
The Inverex Veyron 6kW system, even without a battery, demonstrated robust performance in the load tests. Its ability to handle a significant load, even in the late afternoon with limited sunlight, proves its efficiency. The addition of a battery would further enhance its capabilities, as the client plans to do in the future.
