I've just bought 5kw of panel direct from china ($0.82/w delivered) but at present only have one 300w grid tie, I want to run this inverter at the max. output all the time, my question is can I wire up 2kw of panel to this inverter (wired in parallel so not to exceed the voltage input of the inverter) so that even on hazy days I can feed 300w to the grid?

I do not know of any Grid Tied Inverters as small as 300w except the unsafe and illegal in US and most other countries plug-in kind.
Given the tendency of those units to fail and or catch fire, I would be very reluctant to connect one of them to 2000w of panel! (Not that I would use one at all.)

Just why on earth would you do this? Do not tell me to save money because I will BBQ you for dinner.MSEE, PEComment

Any 300w inverter is NEVER going to withstand 5kw for more than a few milliseconds .
Kinda like connecting a 750 HP Cummings engine to a Chev Corvair gearbox.. Its not going to be happy days.
Im at a loss as to understand why anyone would even buy that amount of panels then only spend a few dollars on most likely a non approved inverterr to connect to any grid..?? mabe im missing something??Comment

Andy93 I am not a mod here, just a regular. Please do not recommend those plug and play inverters here on this forum. They are not legal. Illegal practices are not condoned on this forum. If you wish to discuss these guerilla type systems there are other forums for that.Comment

This is the second or third post he recommended going to eBay and buying one of those flaming inverters. Maybe he will get the hint not to make anymore posts like that here but who knows.
My concern is that he doesn't get it since he wanted to not only use one of those inverters but to try to over load it's input. Crazy Man.
