Loss row
Active Energy injected into grid
The energy delivered to the grid
Unit kWh/kWp
What this step does
The last line of the solar part of the diagram: the energy delivered at the grid connection over the year before any battery, net of the night draws. In kWh/kWp the row is the specific yield. Divided by the reference yield, the plane irradiation divided by 1 kW/m², it gives the performance ratio.
The math
where
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| the energy delivered to the grid | kWh/kWp | |
| the energy at the inverter output | kWh/kWp | |
| the AC rows between the two, losses negative | kWh/kWp |
Reading the number
A total, positive: the specific yield, about 1,200 to 2,200 kWh/kWp a year for a utility plant and 900 to 1,500 kWh/kWp for a rooftop system, set by the site's sunlight and every row above it. Auxiliaries and transformer losses sized for a larger plant can take it to zero or below on a small system; the run then warns in summary.warnings.
