Essentially because you are limited by the charge controller and the inverter, you can overspec generation, so the bursts or high times get stored in the capacitor, rather then be limited by the capacity of the inverter and the charge controller. which can extend your max input before draining. it helps especially if the input fluctuates.

We may infer from Figure 2 that the DC link capacitor''s AC ripple current Icap arises from two main contributors: (1) the incoming current from the energy source and (2) the current drawn by the inverter. Capacitors cannot pass DC current; thus, DC current only flows from the source to the inverter, bypassing the capacitor.

Multilevel inverters are widely employed in industry application due to their low voltage-variation rate and little current distortion.

As gnubie sez. This thing would be operated only during the time BEFORE the inverter is even turned on.

Yes, like car audio where the battery size and wiring is limited by other constraints. but in general it will be more expensive than just adding batteries. Having the right batteries and wires is cheaper and works better too. Re: Has anyone thought of using capacitors between the inverter and battery?
Lots of people have thought of using capacitors on inverter DC input. It doesn't do any good because that's not how capacitors work. They don't produce power, they just 'borrow' it. There already are all the capacitors the inverter needs built in to the inverter.
Do not attempt to repair the Sunshine Grid Tie Inverter, it contains no user-serviceable parts. If it fails, please contact Sunshine customer service to obtain an RMAnumber and start the replacement process. The status of errors will be displayed with red letters on the grid tie inverter LCDdisplay.
However, if you have a relatively high internal resistance in the battery AND the load is pulsed rather than continuous, adding a modest amount of capacitance can reduce I 2 R losses and reduce voltage sag to the inverter during the current pulse. Agreed. However you can do the same with a larger battery bank, likely for cheaper.
