Super jealous of your O's.

My 3.68kW Solaredge can hit 3.70kW (on the home display monitor (from 3.58kWp)) on occasions but that is pretty close. I was going to suggest that the name of your inverter might not reflect the max output (sometimes they don't), but the datasheet does seem to say 3.6kW:Spies said: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?
Growatt 3.6kW
but perhaps the wording of both AC output lines allow for a small amount of variance:
AC nominal power & Max AC apparent power?
I certainly wouldn't worry about it.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

Started well but never really took off. Lots of ups and downs but still managed,

Still producing a nominal amount but it will make little difference to my total.

Not too bad a day at the orifice 3.28 O's

Another bright day but some high cloud that took the edge off things.8.10kWh, 2.98 O's - shame it wasn't quite three!Managed to use my Loop plus my Zigbee-enabled immersion heater to divert a bit of surplus solar while I was at work
Wow that's impressive for mid-March. That's what, 25kWh in a day for an array your size?ggmf said:6.0 O's here, a bit behind at the mid month pointN. Hampshire, he/him.
