Loss row
Available Energy at Inverter Output
The AC energy leaving the inverters
Unit kWh/kWp
What this step does
The AC energy at the inverter output after every inverter loss and the night consumption, summed over the inverters.
The math
where
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| the energy at the inverter output | kWh/kWp | |
| the array energy at maximum power | kWh/kWp | |
| the inverter rows between the two, losses negative | kWh/kWp |
Reading the number
A total, positive: usually 94 to 98 % of the array energy at maximum power, on utility and rooftop systems alike. A high DC-to-AC ratio and string voltages outside the inverter's MPPT window lower it.
