10.4.8 Entering the Amount of CO2 Avoided
The CO
2
factor indicates how much CO
2
is produced for one kilowatt hour of electric current generated in the country.
Depending on the technology used and the efficiency, the CO
2
factor can vary between the different electric utility
companies in the region. You can find out the value of the CO
2
factor of the electric current supplied in your region
from your electric utility company.
SunnyPortal can use the CO
2
factor to calculate how much CO
2
was saved due to the power generation of your
system.
You can view the value of CO
2
avoided on the following pages:
• System profile
• Report configuration
Procedure:
1. In the area Factor, enter the CO
2
factor in the text field or click the slider and, holding the left mouse button
pressed, set the CO
2
factor.
2. Click on [Save].
10.4.9 Entering the Expected Yield
Entering the Predicted Annual Yield
SunnyPortal can display in a table how the predicted annual yield of your system is likely to be distributed throughout
the months of the year.
The predicted annual yield of the system is calculated from the specific annual yield (kWh/kWp) at the system location
multiplied by the nominal PV system power (kWp).
You can obtain the specific annual yield for your system location from irradiation maps. Local conditions such as the
shading or orientation of the system are not taken into account by SunnyPortal. You can obtain the nominal system
power (also called nominal power) from your installer.
Requirement:
☐ The nominal PV system power must be set (see Section11.4.3, page63).
Procedure:
1. In the area Yield Expectations , enter the specific annual yield in the text field Specific Annual Yield.
2. To enable configuration of the average expected yield and the monthly distribution on the page Annual
Comparison, activate the checkbox The monthly distribution can be configured in the diagrams.
