FAQS 4

How does inverter loading ratio affect PV capacity factor?

The ratio between these capacities, known as the inverter loading ratio (ILR), profoundly influences the calculation of the capacity factor. Thus, a PV capacity factor calculated using a DC-rated capacity has a higher denominator and, thus, a lower ratio than a PV capacity factor calculated using an AC-rated capacity.

How are PV modules rated compared to inverters?

PV modules are rated under standard conditions and generate DC energy, while inverters convert DC to AC energy. So, the PV system's capacity is measured either in MWDC by adding up all module capacities or in MWAC by adding up all inverter capacities. The ratio between these capacities is called the inverter loading ratio (ILR).

How many inverters do I Need?

The installed AC power (P a c i n s t a l l e d) is the sum of all Central Inverters' power. The number of inverters needed (N i n v r e q) depends on the nominal power of the inverter selected at the chosen temperature rating. N i n v r e q also depends on this but is also dependent on the number of inverters per PCU.

Do solar panels need inverters?

Because solar panels generate DC, solar PV systems need inverters to power multiple needs. The inverter converts DC energy into AC energy so that electricity can be used in the home or sent back to the electric grid. It's crucial to note that industries, offices, and most appliances operate on AC power.
