Solar Inverters
This sections deals with all things related to solar inverter technology.
- My installer has quoted 8.91 kW of panels with a 7.3kW inverter. Will I lose energy?
- How does a solar export limiter work?
- I want to mount my panels a long way from the switchboard - how thick should the cable to the switchboard be to minimise voltage drop?
- Is my SMA inverter 3 phase or single phase?
- I've been told my existing solar system / inverter is not compliant with the current standards. What do I have to do?
- How do I install micro inverters on a 3 phase supply?
- How much energy will I lose from clipping with 270W micro inverters on 330W panels?
- How does a single phase inverter on a 3 phase supply affect my self consumption?
- I have 3 phase power. Should I use a 3 phase inverter or a single phase inverter?
- I am on a SWER line I've been told I need an export limiter. Is that necessary?
- Do I need to change my existing inverter if I want to add batteries to my solar system?
- What inverter brands do you trust?
- How do I oversize my panel array if I want to use micro inverters?
- My installer has quoted me for more panel capacity than the size of the inverter ("oversizing"), is this okay?
- What's the difference between micro inverters and optimisers?
- I have received a quote for a solar system using a regular inverter and for a solar system using micro inverters. Which is better?
- Where should my inverter be located?
