In practice, photovoltaic systems suffer numerous losses that reduce the actual electricity produced by _____ of the potential power output.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photovoltaic systems suffer from various losses, such as shading, soiling, wiring, electrical conversion, temperature, and module quality losses. These losses arise from factors such as dust, debris, shadows, and defects in the solar cells. Such factors reduce the actual electricity produced by photovoltaic systems up to 20% or more of the potential power output. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
