How Component Selection Affects Power Plant Performance

Power generation is proportional to level of sunshine. Areas with good sunlight could get up to 35% higher generation than regions with low sunlight

Sunshine Availability

Inverters that rate high in efficiency and other features result in lower generation loss

Inverters with around 92% efficiency.
Inverters with around 95% efficiency.
Inverters with around 98% efficiency.
Inverter Performance

Panel properties such as grades, temperature tolerance, and resistance to degradation contribute significantly to overall generation

Panel Performance

Optimal selection of cables in terms of sizing, length, voltage compatibility, insulation levels, etc., can reduce losses

How Component Selection Affects Performance

Do not go for average quality components. It can hurt badly.

Check out how a good choice of key components of a solar power plant can significantly increase generation, and conversely, how a poor choice could lead to significant losses.

For each component, click on the box to check out the generation loss resulting from a poor choice.

Dust and debris accumulation on panels can reduce power generation. Long intervals between cleaning can contribute up to 10% generation loss

Cleaning Frequency

Premium features in monitoring solutions can help in quicker resolution of faults and low generation loss from failures

Monitoring & Control Level

"When inverters fail, power generated by panels is wasted. Local service availability ensures quick correction of inverter failures"
