TABLE 4. PEAK POWER OUTPUT FOR VARIOUS SOLAR MODULES AND ARRAY SIZES
The peak power production (W
p
) of the modules at STC (Standard Test Conditions: irradiance 1000 W/m², spectrum AM
1.5, module temperature 25 °C) and at NOCT (Nominal Operating Cell Temperature, irradiance 800 W/m², spectrum AM
1.5, module temperature ~43 – 45 °C) are provided by the solar PV module manufacturer. The below table indicates the
peak power at STC for a range of solar module power ratings and array sizes.
