[QUOTE="The Smiths, post: 550722, member: 37534"] Hello All So ive decided to go for 4 x 545 Watt Panels on my shed and am now looking at a grid tied inverter. I was under the impression that when calculating inverter size is was a simple matter of multiplying the number of panels by the panel size, then picking the next round number sized inverter. In this case 4 x 545 = 2,180 Watts So a 2.5Kw inverter is what I need. Someone told me I could get away with a 2KW due to the fact as I'm never going to get 2180 Watts due to inefficiencies and inverters have a margin of error as well. Who's right ? Thank you again [/QUOTE]
