Yes, the issue of over paneling has been discussed many, many times, but this often overlooked this paper concerning over paneling coined by Filterguy concerning hard PV limits stipulated by some manufacturers, has me concerned. Statements by the manu like; " ... Sol-Ark 5K No over-paneling supported ... ", " ... Growatt SPF300TL; Growatt tech support says the Max PV Array Power is a hard limit, so these controllers can not be over-paneled. ... ".
So, contrary to popular belief, we have been warned by the manu of certain popular products, not to over panel.
Since the Growatt spf3000tl cannot be over paneled, what about Growatt's spf4000-12000t line of low freq inverters? Can they be over paneled and by how much? Does the 30% rule of thumb still apply?
Do you have one of Growatt's spf4000-12000t line of inverters? Is it over paneled, and if so, by how much? Any issues that might have arisen from over paneling?
I like trees. They provide shade for the yard, a place for wildlife to forage/shelter, keep the house cooler in the summer, and give us air breathing folks needed oxygen, but they suk for solar power production. Due to the nice large oak and maple trees in the yard, if it's been a cloudy'ish day, the shop needs more power than is currently generated.
