To calculate the DC to AC ratio:
\[ \text{DC to AC Ratio} = \frac{\text{DC Output}}{\text{AC Capacity}} \]
Where:
The DC to AC ratio, also known as the Inverter Load Ratio (ILR), is a measure used in solar energy systems. It refers to the ratio of the Direct Current (DC) power output of the solar panels to the Alternating Current (AC) power capacity of the inverter.
A higher DC to AC ratio means that the solar panels are capable of producing more power than the inverter can handle, which can lead to potential energy loss. Conversely, a lower ratio means that the inverter has more capacity than the solar panels can produce, which can lead to underutilization of the inverter.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{DC to AC Ratio} = \frac{5000}{4000} = 1.25 \]
The DC to AC Ratio is 1.25.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{DC to AC Ratio} = \frac{6000}{5000} = 1.20 \]
The DC to AC Ratio is 1.20.
