Technical FAQs 4

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.

What size solar inverter do I Need?

Your inverter size should match your solar array's capacity, not your electricity bill. This means your inverter doesn’t need to power your entire home—it just converts whatever your panels generate. Let's say you have a 6kW solar array (twenty 300-watt panels).

Why should you choose a solar inverter size?

Inverters play a vital role in converting the direct current (DC) generated by your solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) for your home. Selecting the proper inverter size ensures that your solar system operates at its full potential, ultimately impacting energy savings and system longevity.

How do I choose a rated inverter?

You must consider this to select an appropriately rated inverter. A straightforward method to calculate inverter size is: Inverter Size (VA) = Total Wattage (W) / Power Factor (0.7–0.8) Once calculated, choose the next standard inverter size above your result to ensure safe and efficient operation.
