A PV to inverter power ratio of 1.15 to 1.25 is considered optimal, while 1.2 is taken as the industry standard. This means to calculate the perfect inverter size, it is always better to choose an inverter
Learn More
Because the PV array rarely produces power to its STC capacity, it is common practice and often economically advantageous to size the inverter to be less than the PV array. This ratio of PV to
