What’s a good value for kWh/kWp? An overview of specific yield
WEBAug 14, 2017 · Factors that impact specific yield. Specific yield (or simply “yield”) refers to how much energy (kWh) is produced for every kWp of module capacity over the course of a typical or actual year. While typical values can range from 1,000 kWh/kWp to over 2,000 kWh/kWp, the actual value is driven by many factors, including: Location.
Dual MPPT Defined, Understanding Solar MPPT - Solar Power World
WEBFeb 18, 2014 · The MPPT circuit constantly monitors the array voltage and current. It attempts to drive the operating point of the inverter to the maximum power point of the array, resulting in the highest energy harvest. Dual vs. Single MPPT. Simply put, in the majority of applications with two strings or more, two MPPTs are better than one.
What are bifacial solar modules and how do they work?
WEBApr 2, 2018 · Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. Whereas traditional opaque-backsheeted panels are monofacial, bifacial modules expose both the front and backside of the solar cells. When bifacial modules are installed on a highly reflective surface (like a white TPO roof or on the ground with light-colored stones), some ...
