Inexpensive grid-tie inverter suggestions

Ten panels wired in series would be 330 Voc, 264 Vmp, W (STC)

A small string inverter would be one way to go. I use SMA Sunny Boy, which mostly range from about 3kW to 7.7kW
Various new and old models would work, but you have to pay attention to minimum MPPT voltage. On a hot day your panels will drop below 26.4V, and some inverter models require at least 250V. Some models require more.

Many of the inverters have a DC disconnect switch built in, so all you need to do is wire a pair of MC4 pigtails into the switch and connect to the panels. On the AC side, a circuit breaker in your panel connects it.

Not saying that will meet all the latest codes and utility company requirements, but it should function until you hear a knock on the door.
I hooked mine up 17 years ago and had the mechanical meter spinning backwards until PG&E said, "You'd better ask for our permission."

Characteristics of a photovoltaic inverter - RIELLO SOLARTECH

If you are thinking of installing a photovoltaic system on the roof of your home or your commercial or industrial business, choosing the inverter that best suits your needs is essential.

Here are the main features of a photovoltaic inverter to consider for a choice suited to your needs:

  1. The photovoltaic inverter must be compatible with the technical specifications of the electricity grid to which it will be connected.
  2. The inverter must have a capacity proportionate to the power of the photovoltaic system to which it is connected. It is advisable to choose an inverter with a capacity slightly higher than the rated output of your solar panels.
  3. Better to focus on an efficient inverter. A high-efficiency inverter minimizes energy losses during conversion. This is a key feature to maximize system performance.
  4. A high-quality inverter will also be reliable and have a longer service life with less maintenance. Consider user feedback and the manufacturer&#;s reputation.
  5. Some technical characteristics such as the number of MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) can help obtain maximum efficiency from the system.
  6. Additional features and services, such as remote monitoring and control can offer an additional level of convenience, security and efficiency.
  7. Focusing on a hybrid photovoltaic inverter can be a solution to consider to maximize efficiency and reduce energy costs, as it combines the function of a traditional inverter with that of an energy storage system.
