Material Detail

Interactive computational laboratory simulation modeling residential and commercial photovoltaic AC energy harvest using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) PVWatts V8 methodology. Simulates monthly and annual generation (kWh), specific yield (kWh/kWp/yr), and transparent multiplicative system derating factors (14.08% DC loss breakdown including soiling, shading, LID, mismatch, and wiring resistance) across geographic peak sun hour (PSH) baselines. Designed for higher-education electrical engineering, renewable energy technology, and clean energy workforce instruction.
