Technical FAQs 4

How do I choose the right solar inverter size?

When it comes to solar inverter sizing, installers will consider three primary factors: the size of your solar array, geography, and site-specific conditions. The size of your solar array is the most important factor in determining the appropriate size for your solar inverter.

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.

What are the different types of solar inverters?

From the perspective of commutation technology, solar inverters can be categorized into PWM inverters and MPPT inverters.PWM inverters utilize pulse-width modulation technology to achieve voltage and frequency adjustments, while MPPT inverters employ maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology to improve the efficiency of the PV system.

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).
