As Mike pointed out, in PV watts one sets the DC size, and cannot explicitly set the inverter capacity. Changing the DC/AC ratio from 1.2 to 1.5 is implicitly decreasing the inverter max output by 20%. Example: DC 4.8 kW DC/AC ratio 1.2 => inverter is 4 kW DC/AC ratio 1.5 => inverter is 3.2 kW

Interesting topic, what l am seeing is over throttling which will potentially contribute to mid day clipping. Many inverters now can be overdriven by as much as 200% but the inverter will only produce it's rated output and 150% well that's right in there. But hey what do l know. Looking forward to

Hi Jay, Per your note, annual kWh production should go up as you add more modules to a project, even if you are increasing the DC/AC ratio. I wonder if the metric you are reporting out is kWh per kWp per year, or specific yield? https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2017/08/specific-yield-overvie

HI All I’m working with a customer who’s pretty savvy and is using PV watts for his design. What I can’t figure out is the kwh/year goes down if he uses dc/ac ration of 1.5 instead of 1.2 which is the default. Hes in Santa Fe NM. .8 ratio= 1663 kwh/yr 1.0 ratio = 1668 kwh/yr 1.2 ratio =
