True Beacon Solar

DC oversizing (also called DC/AC ratio or oversizing ratio) means installing more solar panel capacity than your inverter is rated for. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's one of the smartest design decisions in residential solar.

In this video, we explain:
What DC oversizing means and how it works
Why solar designers intentionally oversize panel arrays
How clipping works and why losing a little peak production is worth it
The sweet spot for DC/AC ratios in Ontario's climate
How oversizing maximizes real-world energy production year-round
Why a 10kW panel array on an 8kW inverter actually makes sense

DC oversizing is standard practice in professional solar design. This video explains why and helps you evaluate your solar quote like a pro.
