Definition
kWh/kWp is the unit for specific yield — annual energy production (kWh) per kW of installed DC nameplate capacity (kWp). The standard metric for comparing solar plant productivity across sites.
Key Takeaways
- kWh/kWp = annual energy / DC nameplate.
- Equivalent to specific yield.
- Global benchmarks 900–2,100 kWh/kWp/yr.
- Site-specific PVsyst output.
- Combined with PR to assess plant performance.
