Capacity factor: DC basis, AC basis and revenue check

Enter the plant ratings, then one known value. The tool fills in the rest. Use whole numbers or a decimal point, or a decimal comma such as 12,5. Presets are invented. A design aid, not a guarantee basis.

Array size, kWp DC at STC

Inverter AC rating, kW (needed for the AC basis)

Known value

Value

Hours in the period

Optional: price, USD per kWh (invented in the preset)

Annual AC energy: - kWh

Specific yield: - kWh/kWp

Capacity factor, DC basis: -

Capacity factor, AC basis: -

Full-load hours, AC basis: -

Capacity factor = energy ÷ (capacity × hours). The DC basis divides by kWp and the AC basis by inverter kW.

Revenue check at the price entered

Matched basis: - USD

AC factor applied to DC kW: - USD

DC factor applied to AC kW: - USD
