Peak Power
Peak power is the maximum power that a solar module can produce under standard test conditions (STC) in a laboratory setting.
In the PV industry, the power of a solar cell is often expressed in watt-peak (Wp). Although this designation for the electrical power of a solar cell is not standard-compliant, it is useful for comparing different solar cells and modules under standardized test conditions.
Summary::
- Peak power refers to the short-term maximum output of a PV system.
- Common abbreviations: Wp, kWp, MWp.
- Note: This is not a standard-compliant designation.
