COMMERCIAL SOLAR ENERGY OUTPUT

How much energy do commercial solar panels generate?

The average solar radiation in the UK is around 4.5 kWh/m²/day, but it can vary depending on the location. The performance ratio is a measure of how well the solar panels are working and can range from 0.7 to 0.9. The system efficiency is the percentage of solar energy that is converted into electricity; it can range between 20% – 22%.

For example, a 100 kWp commercial solar PV system with a performance ratio of 0.85, a system efficiency of 21%, and an average daily solar radiation of 1000kWh/m2/yr will generate approximately 83,900kWh per year.
