Likely increase in performance of your panel compared to a panel with the least favourable choices for all the parameters. Performance is an indicator of both qualitative aspects such as reliability and quantitative aspects such as generation.
The benchmark generation is the generation of the solar panel with the least favourable choices for all the parameters.
The benchmark cost is the cost of the solar panel with the least favourable choices for all the parameters.

Solar Panels

Electricity producing unit in a solar plant

A solar panel converts sunlight to electricity. It is an assembly of solar cells that absorbs sun’s energy and converts it into electric current. Solar panel is the most important component of the solar plant and its selection has the highest significance on the overall performance of the plant. Each and every aspect of the panel needs to be carefully chosen in order to ensure optimal output from it.
