Yeah, but I'm looking for the equation as to how you get to that 75-80 percent figure.
marco Marco I use 75% as a general rule, it seems to work out well. I've gotten upwards of 80% on certain enphase & sanyo installations. Mike Nelson MD Electric & Solar, Inc.

That is, I'm looking for that equation which estimates the losses due to mod mismatch, soiling, wire losses, etc., etc. I've got someone who mistakenly expects their PV array to put out 90 or more percent of the STC rating. Thanks, marco
