Estimate Solar Energy Production
Use peak sun hours and system losses wey you enter estimate energy production.
Your numbers
Energy for di period
Sun hours na assumption wey you enter, no be live local forecast. Shade, direction and season changes need model for the particular site.

You fit keep up to three snapshots for this tab. Loading one go replace the present inputs.
Formula
Use E = Ph(1−l)d. P na peak array capacity for kW, h na average peak sun hours per day, l na system loss as fraction, and d na days. Period energy E dey for kWh.
Use peak sun hours and system losses wey you enter estimate energy production.
Example wey show the calculation
- Peak capacity of solar array (kW)
- 5
- Peak sun hours for each day on average
- 4
- Share of system energy wey lost (%)
- 20
- Number of days for the period
- 30
- Energy for di period
- 480 kWh
- Energy for each day on average
- 16 kWh
Where e fit work and limits
Sun hours na assumption wey you enter, no be live local forecast. Shade, direction and season changes need model for the particular site.
We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.
Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
