SOLAR POWER CALCULATION

To obtain the photovoltaic power the following

calculation is applied:
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
Photovoltaic energy resulting in AC = Installed photovoltaic power
(CC panels, STC) x Solar radiation (value of the database, kW / m² day)
x percent loss factor (*)
SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
Application example of the online
photovoltaic calculator
SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
The example is given for an
installation located in Queretaro,,
Qro, Mexico.
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
To obtain the photovoltaic power the following
calculation is applied:
Photovoltaic energy resulting in AC =
Installed photovoltaic power (CC panels, STC)
x Solar radiation (value of the database, kW /
m² day) x percent loss factor (*)
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
Installation conditions
Type of Photovoltaic Generator: Crystal
Silicon.
Isolated installation of any building, good
natural ventilation.
Inclination equal to latitude, 42º.
Fixed azimuth, ie photovoltaic panel facing
South without East-West deviation.

Type of losses
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
1.-Estimated losses due to
temperature and radiation: 9%
Photovoltaic efficiency is affected
by the temperature of the module,
in general efficiency decreases
with increasing temperature.
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
2.-Estimated losses because not all
solar radiation reaches the sensitive
material of the panel and produces
electricity: 2.5%
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
3.-Losses inside the electronic stage of
conversion to alternating current,
as are the losses caused by diodes, regulators
and inverters.
Plus the losses in the wiring necessary to reach
the precise place where you will consume the
electricity: 12%
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
4.-Other losses: 1.5%
Total loss adopted: 25%
Loss factor = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75
 SOLAR POWER CALCULATION
Applied to the previous calculation (*)
Photovoltaic energy resulting in AC per day
= Photovoltaic power installed in CC x
Solar Radiation per day x 0.75
For a 1kW (STC) installation consisting of
5 flat 200 watt photovoltaic panels:
It is 5 x 200 Watt = 1000 W = 1kW
Solar radiation accumulated during one day
of 2.9 kW / m² per day
