Over driving inverters is nothing new, l have seen shops with the old sma2500 push them to 3500 dc and still keep them under max voc and sure there will be some mid day clipping but the AM and PM increase are where the meat is. For the loss in cream off the top at mid day you get a bunch more power thtought the day.
