Abstract: The optimum sizing ratio of the photovoltaic (PV) array capacity, compared to the nominal inverter input capacity, was determined in grid-connected PV (GCPV) systems from two points of view: energetic and economic. The optimum ratio was determined by both empirical and analytical approaches, and based on two PV arrays connected to their inverters, plus three simulated inverters.
