Kilowatt peak (kWp)
Watt peak, common kilowatt peak, describes the electrical output of a solar system. The term peak describes the potential peak performance of a system, ie, for example, that a 10kWp system generates 10 kilowatts of electricity under ideal conditions. The maximum performance is measured under strictly controlled standard test conditions (STC), as each system is subject to different conditions (position of the sun, orientation, inclination, etc.) in order to represent the optimal comparison values. |
