The idea of the electronics "wearing out"is a strange one. The inverters are only at full capacity for a small amount of the time, at peak hours which is only 2 to 4 hours a day, and only for part of that time if you have clouds, and who doesn't? Pushing them a little harder should not "wear them out". So one question would be, what is the rated duty cycle of the inverters?
Let's remember, we are not proposing to increase the operating voltage, just to provide more current when needed. It's the inverter that chooses to use the available current.
