Excess solar energy is all the electricity produced by your solar panels that you don’t consume at that moment. So, if your solar panels generate a large amount of electricity between noon and 4 pm, when your only energy use is a fridge, everything not used by the fridge is excess solar energy.
With overpaneling, your solar array’s peak power exceeds your inverter’s rated AC power. An example is connecting 10kWp (ten kilowatts peak) solar panel capacity to an inverter rated at 8kW AC. What are the Benefits of Overpaneling? Overpaneling is especially helpful on gloomy days and brings opportunities on sunny days.
As you might be thinking, excess solar energy is incredibly common. If your system is designed to supply a large fraction of your house’s power, you’re likely producing excess energy during the sunniest parts of the day.
Overpaneling, is a strategic approach to solar panel installation. It involves deploying a solar array with a capacity exceeding the inverter’s rated output. You might be thinking that this is not safe. But don’t worry! There is a way to do it safely.
