  • Understanding over-paneling.

    While researching on the PVwatts website for my grid tie build it shows that if I use Iq8 microinverters instead of Iq8+ with my 340 watt panels it will produce 99.7% the amount of electricity. It seems a waste to go with Iq8+ then? I tried searching over paneling but most results are in...
  • DC disconnect recommendations.
