Inverter AC Chopping

4 FAQs about [Inverter AC Chopping]

Is clipping bad for a PV inverter?

When you see clipping, the natural question is, “Is this bad for the equipment?” Most inverters can self-regulate when the PV array power exceeds the maximum input, meaning it adjusts the DC voltage and reduces the current going into the inverter. So, long story short, some clipping is unlikely to impact the longevity of your equipment.

Do solar inverters clip a lot?

Overall, some clipping is nothing to worry about. Many solar arrays experience some clipping on a few sunniest days of the year. However, if you see clipping happening regularly outside of these peak sun days, you may want to talk with your solar provider about increasing the size of your inverter.

Why can''t I see clipping on a central inverter?

Depending on the type of inverter you have, you may not be able to see clipping happening. This is due to how the system is monitored. With central inverter technologies with one inverter for the project, clipping can be seen as the graphs above illustrate- a parabolic curve that flattens out at the top.

Should you choose a smaller solar inverter?

Providers often justify the choice of a smaller inverter by pointing out that the savings from the lower cost outweigh any potential losses due to clipping. The direction solar panels face on a home will also drastically impact the amount of clipping the home experiences.
