Solar generator conversion rates measure the efficiency of solar energy to electrical energy. It measures the generator's solar panels' solar-to-electricity conversion rate.
Solar generators have solar panels, charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. The charge controller regulates energy to the battery from solar panels. The inverter converts DC (direct current) power from the battery into AC (alternating current) power, which is used in most homes and businesses. When choosing a solar generator, conversion rate affects system efficiency and performance. More solar energy is converted into electrical energy, which can extend runtime or power more devices. Lower conversion rates convert less energy, which can shorten runtime or require more solar panels for the same output.
In other words, it means that the solar panels in the generator can convert 22.6% of the sunlight that hits them into usable electrical energy. This is considered to be a relatively high conversion rate, as most solar panels on the market have an average conversion rate of around 15-20%.
A higher conversion rate means that the solar generator can produce more electrical energy with fewer solar panels, which can be an advantage in terms of cost and space requirements. However, it's important to note that other factors, such as the size of the battery and the efficiency of the inverter, can also affect the overall performance and efficiency of the solar generator.
