Why put 6.6kW of solar panels on a 5kW inverter?
Western Power doesn’t allow single-phase solar inverter capacity higher than 5kW output. Synergy excludes solar inverter capacities which exceed 5kW output capacity from the Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme.
As solar panels rarely reach peak rated power, certain solar inverter manufacturers states that their inverters can be overloaded by up to 50%.
Although the Clean Energy Regulator has had their say on this topic and capped oversizing to 33%. Therefore, 5kW Inverter capacity x 1.33 = 6.6kW of solar panels.
