Calculating Energy Production of a Solar Panel System
Average Daily Peak Sunlight Hours: 5 hours; System Efficiency: 80% (or 0.8) Annual Energy Output = 5 kW × 5 hours × 365 × 0.8 = 7,300 kWh. This means a 5 kW solar panel system in an area with an average of 5 peak sunlight hours per day and an efficiency factor of 80% is expected to produce approximately 7,300 kWh of electricity …
