Experiment on I-V Characteristics and Efficiency of
1kWp Solar PV system

Efficiency % = (Power) / (Length) (Width) (1000W/M2)

▪ Power is the rating of the solar module in watts

▪ Length and Width is the size of the solar module in meters. In
this step you are calculating the area of the module (meters
squared)
▪ The 1000 W/M2 is the typical suns maximum output that is used
when rating solar modules.

PV MODULE:

1Soltech 1STH-250-WH

Power=250.205W

Length=1.652M(65in)

Width =0.990 (39in)

Efficiency % = (250.205) / (1.652M) (0.990M) (1000W/M2)

= 15.29%

Peak efficiency = 15.29%
