Calculate Solar Panel Efficiency



Formula

The formula to calculate the Solar Panel Efficiency (E) is:

\[ \text{E} = \frac{\text{Pout}}{\text{Pin}} \times 100 \]

What is Solar Panel Efficiency?

Solar panel efficiency is the percentage of the total power delivered by the sun to the area of a solar panel that it can then convert into electrical power. This efficiency indicates how well a solar panel can convert sunlight into usable electricity.

The average solar panel efficiency is between 12-16%.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{E} = \frac{300}{1500} \times 100 = 20 \]

The Solar Panel Efficiency (E) is 20%.
