Technical FAQs 4

Why is inverter size important?

Inverter size also plays a key role in the DC-to-AC ratio—a critical design metric in any solar system. This ratio compares the total power rating of your solar panels (in DC) to the maximum output of your inverter (in AC).

What is a solar inverter size?

When we talk about solar inverter size, we’re referring to the inverter’s rated power output capacity, typically measured in kilowatts (kW). In simple terms, it tells you how much electrical power your solar inverter can handle and convert from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) at any given time.

How do I choose a solar inverter?

Knowing your array size allows you to choose an inverter that can handle that production efficiently—without over- or under-investing in capacity. The second step is understanding your system’s DC-to-AC ratio, one of the most important metrics when sizing a solar inverter.

Should I undersize my solar inverter?

Undersizing allows your solar inverter to run closer to its maximum output for more hours during the day, which can improve efficiency. However, if your panels frequently produce more power than the inverter can handle (especially during peak sun hours), the system will clip that excess power—resulting in lost generation.
