The inverter temperature derate curves apply derates to efficiency as a function of temperature. However, a derate applied to power is consistent with real world operation of many inverters.
In the GUI, there's y-axis unit confusion between ratio and percent.
Default in GUI should be more informative, showing a few Vdcs for the default inverter with piecewise functions.
Expected behavior
The y-axis should be the ratio of the max output power to the rated power. Once the maximum output is limited by a higher temperature, the existing inverter model will produce lower efficiencies across all input DC power. Example:
Additional context
Lower efficiency at high temperatures could be a real physical behavior, but likely isn't as important to capture as the power limiting (or current) built into many inverters.
