6kw photovoltaic panel inverter parameters

What size solar inverter do I Need?

However, oversizing the array is a common practice for maximum efficiency, and a 6.6kW solar PV system typically comes with a 5kW inverter. The typical climate and sunlight available throughout the day will impact the ideal inverter capacity. The positioning of your solar PV system will also affect the solar inverter size you need to purchase.

Why is there a'mismatch' between inverter size and solar panel capacity?

This is the reason why you may see a ‘mismatch’ between inverter size and solar panel capacity – for example, a 6.6kW system advertised with a 5kW inverter. It’s critical for an oversized system to remain within the correct ratio, as this not only impacts efficiency, but also your eligibility for government solar incentives.

What does undersizing a solar inverter mean?

Undersizing a solar array (or oversizing the inverter) means using a solar inverter that’s bigger than the recommended wattage for your solar system. Homeowners sometimes ask about getting a larger inverter to expand their solar PV system in the future or avoid overloading it, but this is rarely recommended.

Is there a difference between inverter size and solar panel capacity?

However, this should always be within the recommended ratio. This is the reason why you may see a ‘mismatch’ between inverter size and solar panel capacity – for example, a 6.6kW system advertised with a 5kW inverter.

What does overclocking a solar inverter mean?

Oversizing the solar array, sometimes called ‘overclocking the inverter’, means using a lower wattage inverter relative to the PV system’s capacity. This is a common practice when installing a solar PV system, as it offers efficiency and performance benefits. The kW figure you see when buying a solar panel is the unit’s maximum DC rating.
