<div dir="auto">Interesting topic, what l am seeing is over throttling which will potentially contribute to mid day clipping. Many inverters now can be overdriven by as much as 200% but the inverter will only produce it's rated output and 150% well that's right in there.<div dir="auto">But hey what do l know. Looking forward to other ideas</div><div dir="auto">Fun times</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 27, 2025, 11:56 AM jay via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">HI All<br>

I’m working with a customer who’s pretty savvy and is using PV watts for his design. <br>
<br>
What I can’t figure out is the kwh/year goes down if he uses dc/ac ration of 1.5 instead of 1.2 which is the default.<br>
<br>
Hes in Santa Fe NM.<br>
<br>
.8 ratio= 1663 kwh/yr<br>
1.0 ratio = 1668 kwh/yr<br>
1.2 ratio = 1671 kwh/yr<br>
1.5 ratio = 1623 kwh/yr<br>
<br>
I was expecting that more PV = more kWh/yr.<br>
<br>
What am i missing?<br>
<br>
<br>
standard module<br>
fixed roof mount<br>
14.08 loss’s<br>
10 degree tilt<br>
180 degrees <br>
