An inverter uses a small amount of energy during the conversion process. The difference between the input power and the output power is expressed in percentages. The efficiency of modern inverters is more than 92 %. This means that a maximum of 8 % of the power consumption is used to convert battery voltage to 230V/50Hz.
The inverter should closely match your panel capacity (80-100% of the array size). For example, if you install a 6 kW solar PV system, you’ll need a minimum 5 kVA inverter. When you install your solar system, your solar provider should discuss inverter options with you, as well as assess your system to determine which size inverter you need.
If your energy use regularly exceeds 5 kW for long periods of time, you may want to consider a larger inverter. If you have a hybrid inverter that controls both solar panels and a solar battery, then the maximum amount of energy you can draw from the battery at any time is also 5 kW if you have a 5 kW/ 5 kVA inverter.
The best way to find the right-sized solar inverter is to consult with a trusted solar provider like Plico. We’ve been in the solar + battery game since 2019, so we know a thing or two about inverters. We’ll guide you through the process, from choosing your system to installation and performance monitoring.
