[QUOTE="binky, post: 549036, member: 490"] I hadn't noticed your location - doh! Chances are it's just overheating then. Not sure if the Solis displays internal temperature, but inverters can get upto 70C even in the UK, which is when they start to self protect themselves by basically shutting down a bit. 11 kW of panels on a 10Kw inverter is fine, it's not often panles outptut at their maximum as there's nearly always some dust / other dirt on them, atmospheric water/clouds and dust in the air. You tend to get peak outputs just after it's rained, when the panels have cooled down a bit, hopefully had a good wash off, and the air is clean. Mind you, the irradiance down your way is far stronger than the UK, so maybe a few more panels than you need for summer? [/QUOTE]
