New-by questions again sorry,
I'm looking at grid tied solar+batteryhybrid inverters and like most starting small and growing. That means my solar/battery will be less than my household usage. When looking at Hybrid inverters do I need to size it for just my solar/battery size or because all power for the house will be going through it, for the whole house? (I'm assuming just the solar/batterybut you know what they say about assumptions) i.e. If my house at a point in time is using 10kw,I have 4w coming off panels, and the grid is supplying 6kw, does my hybrid invert just need to handle the 4kw aka a 5kw hybrid invert is enough? Or because my Hybrid inverter is in the middle my house is limited to 5kw or I'd need a 10kw inverter?
And to further the example with batteries, is my assumption right that with a 5kw inverter,if my house at a point in time is using 10kw,I have 4w coming off panels, the battery would supply 1kw (up to the limitof the inverter)and the grid wouldsupplying 5kw?
