    Maybe someone knows why, but my 3.6kw inverter is showing power in excess of that on occasion, 3.7kw is the highest I've seen, any ideas why it might be running over spec?

    The G98 limit is 3.68kW, so it is probably rounding to one decimal place.

    Maybe the inverter is derated to 3.6kW and is getting caught out when cloud cover changes
