The 3.6 kW Hot PV™ Inverter can take up to 5.04kW of panels, and the 5 kW Hot PV™ Inverter can take up to 7 kw of panels. To work out the maximum number of panels, divide this number by the wattage of the panes you choose to use for your system -> e.g. 5.04 kW ÷ wattage of PV panels.

A minimum of 3 panels (equivalently 100 W) is required for the Hot PV™ Inverter to start generating power.
