Why your quote has more panel kW than inverter kW
Solar quotes often show more panel capacity (kW) than inverter capacity — this is intentional and called “oversizing” or “overpaneling,” typically at a 1.1–1.3x ratio. Since panels rarely hit their full rated output due to heat, angle, and weather, the extra panel capacity helps generate more energy during low-light conditions, while the inverter simply caps output during peak sun.
