The DC-to-AC ratio — also known as Inverter Loading Ratio (ILR) — is defined as the ratio of installed DC capacity to the inverter''s AC power rating. It often makes sense to oversize a solar array, such

The DC/AC ratio, also known as the inverter load ratio (ILR), is a fundamental concept in solar system design. It represents the relationship between the nominal direct current (DC) capacity

This ratio of PV to inverter power is measured as the DC/AC ratio. A healthy design will typically have a DC/AC ratio of 1.25. The reason for this is that about less than 1% of the energy produced by the PV

- Recommended ratio: 1.2–1.5:1 (e.g., 6kW PV + 4kW inverter). - Why? Intense sunlight means your PV panels will hit their rated power often.

Inverter clipping occurs when your panels produce more power than your inverter can handle. The inverter simply caps its output at its maximum rating, "clipping" the excess.

A general rule of thumb for pairing inverters and panels is ~1.2 DC/AC wattage ratio. DC is the STC watt rating of the panels, and AC is the max continuous power output.
