Yes, All panels facing south (best generation). No trees or any shadows. I am in PennsylvaniaIt’s common to undersize the inverter.
It’s not that common you’ll hit that peak and if you do it won’t be that often.
Are all panels facing the same direction. Are all panels clear at the same time during peak of day at peak season?
I have a 7.8kw with 6kw inverter. It clips sometimes. But it would probably only add 1-2% to yearly total if I used a larger inverter.
Mentally it drives you nuts. But it is practical. Wiring, panel capacity all have to go up when inverter goes up too.
In that case it’s probably worth getting the larger inverter.Yes, All panels facing south (best generation). No trees or any shadows. I am in Pennsylvania
only if you want to spend more moneyIn that case it’s probably worth getting the larger inverter.
Tesla clearly said, they won't let me have 2 inverters. I will have one big inverter 7.6 kwonly if you want to spend more money
No, but Enphase recommends oversizing the DC rating of an individual panel vs the AC rating of the microinverter it is connected to. For example, my 10 year old system has nominal 240W panels on nominal 215W microinverters.This is why I am glad i had Sunrun install with Enphase microinverters for each panel. No issues of clipping with just one inverter.
Which direction are your panels facing? What i heard is tesla doesn't install 3rd party inverters anymore. I have PPL (utility) as well. I am in Souderton, PA. My installation is scheduled next tuesday and all panels are south facing.Earlier this month Tesla installed my 10.4KW system - Installation included two SolarEdge Invertors (7.6KW Invertor - Connected to 18 panels and 3.8KW Invertor - Connected 8 panels) and 26 SolarEdge Optimizers. I am waiting for Tesla to submit final papers to PPL (utility company); township inspection and Tesla Quality inspection is completed
Your installation will NOT be Tesla Inverters for 100% sure. You can check your design document. There are few electric companies (like PPL) where they have approved list Invertors and PPL list does NOT include Tesla Invertors. So Tesla has to install 3rd party inverters for PPL customers - It will be either Delta or SolarEdge.Which direction are your panels facing?

If I would have known back then. I only have a 235W panels.No, but Enphase recommends oversizing the DC rating of an individual panel vs the AC rating of the microinverter it is connected to. For example, my 10 year old system has nominal 240W panels on nominal 215W microinverters.
So same issue, just on a distributed scale.

Yes, I confirmed with Tesla and also checked my planset where it shows they will be installing 7.6 Kw tesla inverter. I know tesla inverter is not in PPL list of approved inverters, but Tesla just have to prove them it meets PPL requirements. See my attached planset screenshot.Your installation will NOT be Tesla Inverters for 100% sure. You can check your design document.
