What’s a good value for kWh/kWp? An overview of specific yield
WEBAug 14, 2017 · Factors that impact specific yield. Specific yield (or simply “yield”) refers to how much energy (kWh) is produced for every kWp of module capacity over the course of a typical or actual year. While typical values can range from 1,000 kWh/kWp to over 2,000 kWh/kWp, the actual value is driven by many factors, including: Location.
