Wondering if anyone can clarify if the following statement I was given by a Solar installer is correct.
I have 14 solar panels (7 on an east facing roof and another 7 on a west facing roof). Per roof there is a theoretical 2.73kWh per roof surface. The installer has both these strings on a single 3.6kWh inverter.
I noted that on sunny days the amount of energy for around 4 hours hits the maximum of the inverter. I raised this with the installer to see if moving to a larger inverter would be a better option to take advantage of these periods rather than having it clipped. The installer told me that this would not be a good idea as a larger inverter would be less efficient in the Winter months that the 3.6kWh inverter is. Is this true? As logically that doesn't make sense to me, but I am not an expert in this field.
