Here is our last bit of advice on how to select the correct inverter size: Check our inverter size chart. List all your appliances in the function of their power output. Apply our inverter size formula. Do not exceed 85% of your inverter’s maximum power continuously. Oversize your inverter for extra appliances in the future.
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).
The continuous power requirement is actually 2250 but when sizing an inverter, you have to plan for the start up so the inverter can handle it. Third, you need to decide how long you want to run 2250 watts. Let’s say you would like to power these items for an eight-hour period.
Properly sizing your inverter ensures reliable, efficient performance. The size of the inverter directly impacts the operation of connected devices and appliances. With insufficient inverter capacity, you may experience flickering lights, shortened battery life, device damage or shutdowns.
Second, select an inverter. For this example, you will need a power inverter capable of handling 4500 watts. The continuous power requirement is actually 2250 but when sizing an inverter, you have to plan for the start up so the inverter can handle it. Third, you need to decide how long you want to run 2250 watts.
Think of inverter sizing like choosing the right-sized engine for your car. Too small, and you'll struggle on hills. Too large, and you're paying for power you'll never use. The sweet spot maximizes both performance and value. It's a common misconception that inverter size should match your home's energy usage.
