A 1:0.8 ratio (or 1.25 ratio) is the sweet spot for minimizing potential losses and improving efficiency. DC/AC ratio refers to the output capacity of a PV system compared to the processing capacity of an inverter. It's logical to assume a 9 kWh PV system should be paired with a 9 kWh inverter (a 1:1 ratio, or 1 ratio).
Many studies have discussed the optimization of the PV inverter sizing issue for grid-connected PV systems. The frequently employed inverter-to-PV array formula uses power as a design factor of scaling ratios, and the majority of the studies concentrate on the best uses of c-Si PV module technology.
