MEASURING THE EFFICIENCY OF<br />
SOLAR POWER INSTALLATIONS<br />
<br />
<br />
With the spread of solar power installations where the energy<br />
produced is on-sold, the payback time is determined by the<br />
overall efficiency of the solar power installation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
S<br />
olar panels are designed to achieve a specific level of efficiency<br />
which is specified by the manufacturer of the panel. When<br />
this reference value is reached, it means the installation<br />
is opera<a title="APT - 0272 Energy Generation Oct-Dec 11 page 1" href="http://viewer.flipemag.com.au/publication/5344812d?page=1">Print Post Approved PP 424022/1099-ADM@CP"</a> Print Post Approved PP 424022/1099-ADM@CP"<a title="APT -
