Panels do 400-500Wp these days. Times 23 gives a max of 11500W peak. You are off somewhere, or tell me right now where you got those panels.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoYou're right, sorry. That figure is energy output per month. Edited the post to make that clear. Added some extra statistics too from the monitoring software's report.
- applied_heat 3y agoSo an average of 1.4kw/hr? 1000000W/mo / 30 day/mo / 24 hr/day = 1388
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI think so... Does that sound weird? Is it possible my idea of "panel" is different from everyone else's? I'm counting the individual units which I purchased and which were installed on my rooftop. I suppose it's possible these units are made up of multiple actual panels, each with the aforementioned 400-500 W capacity. Not sure.
- brnt 3y agoYou are mixing up power (W) and energy (J or Wh, simply Watt times hours in you time window of choice) for starters. And I've never seen any other definition of panel other than the unit you buy them by, roughly 1m by 1.6m. That includes industrial installations of hundreds or thousands of panels.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI see. Yeah I probably mixed them up. Unfortunately I don't know the panels Wp value or have their specifications on hand at the moment.
