Mathematical Technique to find best PV technology per location
To decide the size of the PV device, divide the necessary power output by the derate factor.
Literature is available to approximate the field efficiency of the standalone PV array device. Any models of power efficiency can also estimate the average output of the PV system under varying climatic conditions.
