Hello, I know this subject comes up a lot.

and I understand that a 400 watt module never puts out 400 watts, so some oversizing is logical.

but don't you think if you are oversizing at 150% that you are going to get some significant clipping?

one question I have - what exactly is "clipping?" when an optimizer/inverter is "clipping" does it shut down completely or does it continue to put out the max output?

If it shuts down at the max inverter output, i would think this is very undersireable because it's right at the time when you would be getting the max output. wouldn't it just make sense once you get over 125% or so, to just get the next size inverter?
