What kWp tells you
Kilowatt-peak, or kWp, describes the nominal peak capacity of a solar array under defined test conditions. It helps compare system sizes, but it is not a promise of the electricity generated every day or year.
What affects generation in Singapore
Roof orientation, tilt, usable area, shading from nearby buildings or trees, panel temperature, soiling, weather and equipment losses all affect output. The same nominal capacity can perform differently on two properties.
Why daily readings change
Cloud cover, rainfall, haze and seasonal conditions change sunlight reaching the panels. Inverter clipping, downtime, maintenance and monitoring data gaps can also affect the readings an owner sees.
Make an initial estimate carefully
Solar Calculator can help explore preliminary capacity, generation and savings questions. Treat its result as an estimate based on inputs and assumptions, then use Solar System Builder and professional assessment to refine the project.
