Solar PV Panels and the Derating of Out Put

Solar PV Panels and the Derating of Out Put Name plate power output details The capacity of a Solar PV Panel is as what is given in its name plate. The output will invariably be given in DC power output in watts. The watt output of an array of PV panels has to be converted to a practical unit which is kw (DC) and for this purpose the total watts (DC) of the PV module array is added up and divided by 1000. Sadly this out put too does not give an indication of the ultimate power
