Typical Solar Panel Specifications

Panel Type Typical Wattage Efficiency Range Temperature Coefficient
Monocrystalline 300-400W 15-20% -0.3%/°C
Polycrystalline 250-350W 13-16% -0.4%/°C
Thin-film 100-200W 10-13% -0.25%/°C

Factors Affecting Solar Output:

  • Sunlight intensity and duration
  • Panel orientation and tilt angle
  • Temperature effects
  • Shading and obstructions
  • System losses and efficiency
  • Panel degradation over time
  • Dust and dirt accumulation

Optimization Tips:

  • Keep panels clean and well-maintained
  • Optimize panel tilt angle for your location
  • Minimize shading and obstructions
  • Use high-quality components
  • Regular system monitoring
  • Consider seasonal variations
  • Proper system sizing
