This document provides an empirically based performance model for grid-connected photovoltaic inverters used for system performance (energy) modeling and for continuous monitoring of inverter performance during system operation. . Fundamentally, an inverter accomplishes the DC-to-AC conversion by switching the direction of a DC input back and forth very rapidly. As a result, a DC input becomes an AC output. In addition, filters and other electronics can be used to produce a voltage that varies as a clean, repeating sine wave. . The power factor (PF) plays a crucial role in determining the quality of energy produced by grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. When irradiation levels are high, typically during peak sunlight hours, the PV panels generate more electricity. AC is the type of electricity used to power homes and businesses.
