Technical FAQs 4

What is the breakdown of solar energy losses?

Important: The breakdown of losses shows absolute loss values (non-cumulative). This table details monthly energy losses throughout the PV system, starting from the initial solar input and tracking reductions at each stage:

What are PV system losses?

PV system losses have a significant impact on the overall efficiency and output power of a PV power plant. An average annual energy estimate over the useful life of a PV power plant, which is between 25 and 30 years, is required to calculate the plant revenue.

How does a storage system lose energy?

They pass through cables, electrical components (such as inverters), and finally through the batteries of your storage system. At each obstacle or resistance, they release a small amount of their energy – this is when conversion losses occur, similar to the way people lose energy when overcoming obstacles.

Where can I find a breakdown of my PV system losses?

A detailed breakdown of your PV system losses is provided on the PV system losses page. For better data analysis, the page is further categorized into yearly and monthly losses, respectively.
