Free Online Insolation Synthesis Calculator

Follow these steps to calculate the Insolation Synthesis of your solar plant using energy output and system characteristics:

  1. Enter Energy Generated (kWh): Input the actual energy produced over a specific period. (It could be an hour, day, month, year, or any time duration.)
  2. Enter Plant Capacity (kW): Provide the rated DC capacity of your solar plant.
  3. Enter Plant Area (m²): Specify the total area of the solar panels installation only.
  4. Enter Module Efficiency (%): Use the rated solar module efficiency from the datasheet.
  5. Enter Average PR (%): Input the average performance ratio of the solar plant based on its operation at optimal efficiency.
  6. Irradiance @ STC (kW/m²): This is typically 1 kW/m² and this calculator takes it by default.
  7. Click Submit: Your synthesized insolation value will be displayed in the result field. The insolation value so calculated will be for the same time period as the energy produced.

This resulting insolation value is called the synthesized value, which means a close approximation of what the solar insolation POA (kWh/m²) would have been based on the inputs provided.
