    4kW of 12-year-old panels with a 2.5kW or 3kW inverter?

    https://www.solarchoice.net.au/blog/optimizing-solar-panel-system-efficiency-through-inverter-sizing/ "Although under perfect conditions the maximum power output of a solar system will be ‘clipped’ back to the inverter’s output through overclocking through the middle of the day, there can also...

    Is there a problem with my PV setup? Dual MPPT w different orientations & sizes show near identical power.

    We plan to re-roof the house this summer, when we could change the wiring. For now, all we can sensibly do is with the wires to the inverter and the inverter settings (if anything needs/can be changed). I'm still a bit puzzled about the wiring of the panels, as I had understood that they were...

    4kW of 12-year-old panels with a 2.5kW or 3kW inverter?

    We have 16 x 250W panels that were installed 12 years ago. The 4kW inverter was dying, so we asked for a 3kW inverter to replace it and were quoted a Growatt MIN3000TL-X. However we've just spotted that a 2.5kW inverter was fitted, the Growatt MIN2500TL-X. Now, should I insist that it be...

    Is there a problem with my PV setup? Dual MPPT w different orientations & sizes show near identical power.

    We previously had a 4kW SunnyBoy inverter that could take 3 strings and it was wired with 3 panels on one string and 13 panels on the other, or so we were told. It was a Sunny Boy SB 3800/V 0153 with 3 strings and one MPPT and it's working producing for over 12 years, with an average yearly...

    Is there a problem with my PV setup? Dual MPPT w different orientations & sizes show near identical power.

    Added to that, here's the Solcast Estimated Actual PV (calculated from weather satellites measuring the actual cloud cover at that point in time) plus the GivenErergy measured PV (which is cruder than the Growatt inverter reading, as it's a clamped measurement). Odd that the Actual PV measured...

    Is there a problem with my PV setup? Dual MPPT w different orientations & sizes show near identical power.

    I’d appreciate a few expert eyes looking over our solar PV setup. We’re in the midlands and have a system consisting of a 4kW inverter and 16x250W panels, giving 4kW, installed 12 years ago. The inverter was dying, so we had it replaced & moved as part of a house electrical re-wiring. We were...
