Technical FAQs 4

What is the required inverter capacity?

If the total load of your devices is 800 watts, the required inverter capacity would be: \ [ \text {Inverter Capacity (VA)} = 800 \times 1.25 = 1000 \text { VA} \] Choosing the correct inverter capacity is critical for ensuring the stability of electrical systems in homes, offices, and industrial setups.

How big should a solar inverter be?

Generally, it's recommended to size the inverter to 80-100% of the DC system's rated capacity. Before determine the inverter size, the most important thing is to calculate your average daily power consumption (kWh) and calculate your solar panel array size to match your power consumption. You could follow our to make this estimation.

How does the inverter size calculator work?

Our Inverter Size Calculator simplifies this task by accurately estimating the recommended inverter capacity based on your solar panel power and quantity. By inputting your panel's rated power and number of panels, the calculator produces a recommended inverter power range that aligns with 80-100% of your system’s total DC capacity.

What is a recommended inverter power range?

By inputting your panel's rated power and number of panels, the calculator produces a recommended inverter power range that aligns with 80-100% of your system’s total DC capacity. This approach ensures that your inverter is neither under-sized—risking energy losses and performance issues—nor over-sized, which can lead to unnecessary costs.
