The capacity ratio of photovoltaic power plants
The level of capacity ratio is related to whether the inverter can operate at full load, without causing capacity waste, and better utilizing the
The variation of annual inverter efficiency from the maximum annual value for a low efficiency inverter is 5.6% when the sizing ratio decreases from 1.3 to 0.8 and 3.6% when the sizing ratio increases from 1.3 to 1.8. It can be concluded that the optimum PV/inverter sizing ratio depends on inverter characteristics.
The PV module capacity and solar inverter capacity ratio are commonly referred to as capacity ratio. Reasonable capacity ratio design needs to be considered comprehensively in the light of the specific project.
The sizing ratio (Rs) is defined as the ratio of the PV array capacity at standard test conditions (STC) to the rated inverter input DC power given as (1) R s = P PV, rated P inv, rated where, PPV,rated and Pinv,rated represent rated PV capacity and rated inverter input power, respectively.

When the power is 40% to 60%, the efficiency is the highest, and when the efficiency is more than 60%, the efficiency decreases gradually. Therefore, the total power of photovoltaic power should be controlled between 40% and 60% of inverter power to obtain the best efficiency. Solar inverter life
PV efficiency is also affected adversely as when an inverter's rated capacity is much lower than the PV rated capacity, the inverter would be operating at overload conditions. Under overloading condition, excess PV output greater than the inverter rated capacity is lost.
Abstract: The ratio between the photovoltaic (PV) array capacity and that of the inverter (INV), PV-INV ratio, is an important parameter that effects the sizing and profitability of a PV project. It is important to find the balance between cutting down costs by under-sizing the inverter and maximizing profits by generating more energy.
