What the Felicity records say about this kit

The villa profile sized here — 4 × air conditioner, fridge, freezer, 2 × lights & Wi-Fi, 2 × TV, washing machine, water pump and kitchen (microwave & kettle) — reaches 11.7 kW in the instant its motors start and takes about 49.5 kWh across a day. Tied to the grid with no battery, that load asks for a 12 kW grid-tied inverter. The Felicity inverters listed here are 37 hybrids, 22 off-grid units, 17 inverter/chargers and the 2.25 kW X-RAY-BDM2250W micro inverter, so the inverter stays a figure rather than a model. On a three-phase supply, the Felicity hybrid of this size is the 12 kW three-phase hybrid IVGM12KLP3G1.

The array is Felicity's own panel, the GK-1-72HTBD-580M, rated 580 W with 51.47 V open-circuit and 42.59 V at maximum power in its record. 19 of them make 10.9 kWp at 5.7 peak sun hours a day and take roughly 49 m² of roof, where they add about 589 kg (31 kg a panel).
