The representative residential PV system (RPV) for 2024 has a rating of 8 kW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%.

What is the representative commercial PV system for 2024?

The representative commercial PV system for 2024 is an agrivoltaics system (APV) designed for land that is also used for grazing sheep. The system has a power rating of 3 MW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 2.57 m 2 and a rated power of 530 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 20.6%.

How efficient are bifacial solar modules?

Each module has an area (with frame) of 2.57 m 2 and a rated power of 530 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 20.6%. The bifacial modules were produced in Southeast Asia in a plant producing 1.5 GW dc per year, using crystalline silicon solar cells also produced in Southeast Asia. In 2024Q1, these modules were not subject to import tariffs.
