2 5.5 KW DC PV SYSTEM Optimal Location W Solar PV Panels PERSPECTIVE VIEW

3 5.5 KW DC PV SYSTEM Optimal Location W Solar PV Panels Total Solar Resource Fraction (TSRF) is useful for identifying the highest producing solar modules. This value takes into account tilt and orientation factors as well as shading. A solar module with the optimal tilt, optimal orientation and no shading would have a TSRF of 100. A solar module with TSRF of 80 will produce 20% less energy per year than a module with a TSRF of 100. TSRF

4 5.5 KW DC PV SYSTEM Optimal Location W Solar PV Panels 95 Solar Access Value (SAV) is used to calculate the kwh energy production of each solar module. This value indicates the shading derate (loss) relative to an unshaded solar module at the same tilt and orientation. A solar module with a SAV of 80 will produce 20% less energy per year than an unshaded solar module at the same tilt and orientation in the same location. NOTE: Solar modules on roof pitches with low solar irradiance may have a high SAV. This does not mean that they have a high annual energy yield, only that they are unshaded. If you need to compare two solar modules with different tilts or orientations, DO NOT use the values on this page. Instead, use the TSRF values on the previous page. Solar Access
