Hello all. I've had my grid tied system running about one month here in Missouri. We have a ground mount system, 36 panels, 12.96kW. The installer went with a Solar Edge SE10000H inverter. I questioned the choice after the fact, wondering why an 11400H inverter wouldn't of been better. He assured me the 10KW was the best one for my system. I've seen DIY kits with 12.96kW selling online with both inverters, so not sure when one makes since over the other.
Today we had our best output so far, nearly 74kWh produced. Looking at the days production things start heating up at 6:45 am and by 10:15 the system is clipping. The output remains maxed at 10kW till about 2:45, so about 4.5 hours of clipping. By 5:30pm the day is done. Today was a bright sunny but cool day, mid 40's for a high.
When I look at this a couple questions come to mind - could I had went with 32 panels, a 11.52kW system, and still be producing this same power? Or with the 11400H would I have produced roughly 6 more kWh's then I did with the current set up? (1.4kWh for 4.5 hours) It makes you wonder if your getting the best bang for your buck when you have these questions. Can I get some feedback on your thoughts of my systems setup? Thanks!
