How much power from solar panels?

The solar panel installation team at R&B Mechanical & Electrical Ltd say kWp yield is a measure of the efficiency of a solar panel system. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of electricity generated by the system by the system’s rated capacity in kilowatts (kW).

The kWp yield of a solar panel system can vary depending on a number of factors, including the location of the system, the type of solar panels used, and the quality of the installation. In general, solar panel systems in sunny locations will have a higher kWp yield than systems in cloudy locations. And, solar panels with higher efficiency ratings will have a higher kWp yield than systems with lower efficiency ratings.

Here are some of the factors that can affect the kWp yield of a solar panel system:

  • Location: The location of the solar panel system will have a big impact on its kWp yield. Solar panel systems in sunny locations will generate more electricity than systems in cloudy locations.
  • Type of solar panels: The type of solar panels used will also affect the kWp yield of the system. Solar panels with higher efficiency ratings will generate more electricity than systems with lower efficiency ratings.
  • Quality of installation: The quality of the installation will also affect the kWp yield of the system. A well-installed system will generate more electricity than a poorly installed system.
  • Weather conditions: The weather conditions can also affect the kWp yield of a solar panel system. Solar panel systems will generate less electricity on cloudy days and during periods of low sunlight.

When choosing a solar panel system, it is important to consider the kWp yield. A system with a high kWp yield will generate more electricity and save you more money on your electricity bills. However, it is also important to consider the other factors that can affect the kWp yield, such as the location of the system and the type of solar panels used. R&B Mechanical & Electrical Ltd can offer advice on all types of industrial, commercial and residential solar panel systems.
