Hello, so I am trying to find out if this formula is true and if it can help calculate the power output of a PV system in one day.

P = A * r * H * PR * (1 + a * (T - T0))

where:

  • P is the power output in watts (W).
  • A is the total solar panel area in square meters (m2).
  • r is the solar panel yield or efficiency (%).
  • H is the annual average solar radiation on tilted panels in kilowatt-hours per square meter per year (kWh/m2/y).
  • PR is the performance ratio, which accounts for various losses in the system (%).
  • a is the temperature coefficient of power, which indicates how much the power output decreases with increasing cell temperature (%/°C).
  • T is the cell temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
  • T0 is the reference cell temperature.

Thank you
