    Default Solar Quotes - 3kw system with 2 x 2kw inverters?

    I got a quote recently for a 3kw system that had 2 2kw inverters rather than a 3kw or 4kw inverter.
    Is there any reason for doing this? It most likely will be a split array of panels but nobody else has quoted 2 inverters.

    Probably because there is a shortage of Dual MPPT tracker inverters between 3 and 4KW , has been this way all this year.
    Before you accept any offer make sure they have stock and get it in writing !!

    i got a 3kw system with a SMA3800 there was an extra charge but worth it its a wireless reciver that keeps records of out puts for 1 year. as for why a company would quote with 2 inverters on system that size no idea becuase i would imagine it would cost more.

    The 2 inverters will be cheap Chinese rubbish so will still be cheaper than a real inverter like yours.
