[ECN logo] ECN on-line yearly yield simulator

  [ECN home page] --> [Solar Energy] --> [Yearly yield calculator]

What it's all about

The energy yield of a grid-connected PV system depends on the type of PV modules, the characteristics of the PV inverter, the meteorological conditions, the orientation of the modules and several other characteristics of the PV system.
In an interactive simulation programme specific PV modules and PV inverters can be selected and various parameters of the PV system can be chosen. The programme calculates the energy yield for the PV system. The user has a choice of four different locations: The Bilt in The Netherlands, Munich in Germany, Rome in Italy and Khartoum in Sudan.

The program gives a detailed analysis of the different sources of losses of the particular simulated system. The user can use the results of this analysis to optimise the system.
