Capacity x peak sun hours x system efficiency, regional guide

Quick Answer

Solar Panel Output Calculator: Capacity x peak sun hours x system efficiency, regional guide. Solar Panel Output Calculator uses standard science & engineering formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

kW

Estimated annual output11,680 kWh

Daily average 32 kWh · per kW installed 1,168 kWh

Peak sun hours = annual irradiation ÷ 365 at STC 1000 W/m²

How it works

  1. 1Daily = capacity (kW) × peak sun hours × efficiency
  2. 210 × 4 × 80% = 32 kWh/day
  3. 3Yearly = daily × 365 = 11,680 kWh

Regional reference (sun hours/day)

Northwest China (Gansu/Xinjiang) 4.4-4.9; North China (Beijing/Hebei) 3.8-4.1; South China (Guangdong/Fujian) 3.3-3.6. System efficiency 75-85% covers inverter, cabling, soiling and temperature losses.

First-year module degradation is 2-3%, then ~0.5%/year; clean panels and good ventilation recover several percent. This is a planning-level estimate — for bankable figures use PVGIS or local irradiation data with a shading study.
