Technical FAQs 4

How big should a solar inverter be?

Generally, it's recommended to size the inverter to 80-100% of the DC system's rated capacity. Before determine the inverter size, the most important thing is to calculate your average daily power consumption (kWh) and calculate your solar panel array size to match your power consumption. You could follow our to make this estimation.

How does the inverter size calculator work?

Our Inverter Size Calculator simplifies this task by accurately estimating the recommended inverter capacity based on your solar panel power and quantity. By inputting your panel's rated power and number of panels, the calculator produces a recommended inverter power range that aligns with 80-100% of your system’s total DC capacity.

Do I need an inverter size chart?

The need for an inverter size chart first became apparent when researching our DIY solar generator build. Solar generators range in size from small generators for short camping trips to large off-grid power systems for a boat or house. Consequently, inverter sizes vary greatly.

How important is sizing your inverter?

Properly sizing your inverter ensures reliable, efficient performance. The size of the inverter directly impacts the operation of connected devices and appliances. With insufficient inverter capacity, you may experience flickering lights, shortened battery life, device damage or shutdowns.
