But that's not what I had in mind. When an inverter fails, it has to be replaced, and meanwhile a few panels don't produce power. A few, as opposed to all. You get many small failures that cause the plant to produce ninety-some per cent of its possible output instead of the nuclear kind, where the plant is down and produces zero energy, and can't be turned back on even with several days of advance warning.
