OK, another "quirk" Today the Max Power field under status was activated [cloud lensing?] and the number in it was 4050 . DCPwrLimit also appeared
( 128 F, 304VDC 13.17ADC 4038WattsIn 94.8% eff)

Does Max power relate to input power, or output power, and if output, why did peak W, not reflect that?

chukstr,
from you, "and a Xantex GT4.0 inverter on my roof"
1 is it really on your roof?
2 if so then why up there and not at a more convenient ground location?

Mike, that all sounds correct, the inverter was DC power limiting and SG-View was reporting the GT's reported max dc power value

The inverter limits only to DC input power, not output AC Watts
