Nameplate power

Rated power at standard test conditions

Unit W

What it is

The rated power of the module at standard test conditions (1,000 W/m², 25 °C cell temperature, AM1.5 spectrum), in watts. It sets the system DC nameplate and the module's efficiency, and the circuit model is fitted so that its maximum power at standard conditions equals this value.

Typical values and how to get it

The module datasheet value. A PAN file carries it too.
