How many solar panels are required for a 10kva inverter?

Kilovolt amps is a measure of apparent power but not real power. It is simply a statement of 1,000 volt amps. Sometimes it is used to represent how much power a device requires instead of watts (for whatever reason). read more

Simple calculation, per every kVA you take, the same amount of Solar panels are required. For this question, 10 kVA will require 10 kWp of Solar panels. Simple. A much detailed calculation is to check the Input Voltage and Current of the inverter. Match these two values with the output of the Solar panels. read more

Not Included - Wire, conduit, fittings, breakers, AC/DC Disconnects (if required), junction boxes and a sub panel (if required). All these items can be purchased at any electrical supply shop, Home Depot or Lowes, and will typically cost $300 to $500. read more

Similarly, take a 315 Watt-peak Solar panel data sheet from the internet, take a 10 kVA inverter data sheet from the internet. Match the output voltage and current of the 32 Solar panels (either in series or parallel combination), with the input Voltage and current of the Inverter. read more
