Solar wattage is inflated

What happens if a solar panel wattage is too high?

The higher the wattage, the more power the panel can generate. When the output power from solar panels exceeds the needs of a household or organisation, the system needs to manage this extra power effectively. Excess power may be converted to AC power by an inverter or fed into the grid.

How much power does a solar panel produce?

Under ideal conditions, a solar panel may meet or exceed its power rating. However, in practice, power output often fluctuates. Solar panels come in a variety of wattages, ranging from small portable panels with a few watts to large utility-grade panels that produce hundreds of watts of power each.

What happens if solar power is too much?

When the output power from solar panels exceeds the needs of a household or organisation, the system needs to manage this extra power effectively. Excess power may be converted to AC power by an inverter or fed into the grid. In some cases, excess power can lead to overloading the equipment, which may cause circuit breaks or other problems.

What is the power rating of a solar panel?

The power rating of a solar panel is based on its output capability under ideal conditions and is usually labelled in watts (W). Its power output is affected by a variety of factors such as light intensity, temperature, shadow coverage and panel angle. Under ideal conditions, a solar panel may meet or exceed its power rating.
