Trap Ratio Lie
Explanation Micro Inverters convert DC to AC. Salespeople use the argument for selling weaker inverters because "the City will ONLY approve the solar install when the AC Wattage is less than 105%". E.g.: A panel comes in 505 Watt but the inverter can only output 780 Watt from 2 Panels. that is 20% less output than the panel is producing. Stronger inverters cost more money which is lowering the chance for a sale. Seasonal output differences are also mentioned, but in the summer, when sunshine is plenty, weaker inverter reduce the production.
