What does Peak Sun Hours mean?
Peak sun hours estimate the equivalent number of hours per day when solar irradiance averages 1000 W/m².
How are peak sun hours used in solar design?
Installers use peak sun hours to estimate energy production from a PV system. It compresses a messy day of clouds, angles, and changing sunlight into a cleaner number. Nature, of course, does not read the spreadsheet.
How it relates to Tigo
