Clipping is stupid - Pairing the proper size micro-inverter with the proper size panel.

I’m not educated in solar but common sense would say that having some Clipping is a waste of watts and stupid idea- Hoymiles has 700w-1200w-1600w-2000w micro inverters and the cost of upgrading each unit is minimal . Pairing 4 -500w panels with 1-Hoymiles 2000w micro- inverter makes more sense then pairing 2-500w panels with 2-APsystem DS3 880w . That 2 apsystem micro inverter system would clip and waste potential 240w.

** I have seen my longi 525 panels get over 500w of power

It depends. Can you sell power back where you live? If so, do they limit size of your system, the amount of AC power your system is rated?

My electrical company will only allow me to have 8000w AC So u believe I can install 10000w DC

Yes. Some people use undersized micros. That way you can install more panels. You may get a little clipping around noon, but overall you will product more power to sell back. You can also face panels in different directions.
