1- Derating a PV Array to a PTC, AC Rating. Consider a PV array rated at 1 kW
under standard test conditions. Module nominal operating cell temperature
(NOCT) is 47C. DC power output at the MPP drops by 0.5%/C above the STC
temperature of 25C.
Estimate its ac output under PTC conditions if there is a 3% array loss due to
mismatched modules, dirt loss is 4%, and the inverter has an efficiency of 90%.
2- Cost of PV Electricity for a House which has a PV system that costs $16,850 to
deliver 4000 kWh/yr. If the system is paid for with a 6%,30-year loan, what
would be the cost of electricity?
