Anwering questions asked by fellow members of this forum
| Answer pending
Hi,
I’m Asmane Saadou, an Electrical Engineer from Niger Republic (French Speaker)
I would like to know how one could answer a question asked by a fellow member of the forum. For instance, one fellow posted a question on 30th September 2024, from England, searching to know the energy he could expect daily from his panels in a context where the number of peak sun hours is around 4.
I would like to tell him that it is better for him to consider the peak power of his panels (power written on the panels) and the number of peak sun hours (4 in this case) to estimate the energy expected, rather than to consider the area of the panels in m2. Electrical energy links power and time, not area and time. He can the consider that between 80 to 90% of the peak power and P.S.H product could be the real energy output from the panels. He could the have an idea of the energy needed by his appliances to know how many panels could be needed. He should the make sure that identical panels are used, to ensure the same current is generated from the different arrays.
