Energy
Energy is m easured in Wh (watt h ou rs), kW h (kilo wa tt hour s) or MWh (m egawatt h ours).
The en ergy is t he power calculated over time . For exa mp le, your inverter op erates at a
consta nt po wer of 4600 W for ha lf an hour and then at a c onstant powe r o f 2 300 W for
anothe r ha lf an hour, it has fed 345 0W h of energy int o th e power distr ib ut ion grid with in
that hou r.
Power
Power i s m easure d in W (wa tt s), kW (k il owatts) or MW (megawatts) . P ower is an
instan ta ne ous value. It displa ys th e power your inverter is cur rent ly fe ed ing into the
power di st ri bution grid.
Power ra te
Power rate is th e radio of c ur re nt power feeding into the po we r dis tr ib ution g rid and the
maximu m po we r of the inverter t ha t ca n feed into the pow er d is tribution gri d.
Power fa ct or
Power factor is the ra tio of true powe r or wa tt s to ap pare nt power or volt amps. Th ey are
identi ca l only wh en curren t and v ol ta ge are in p ha se than t he power fa ctor is 1 .0. The
power in an ac ci rc ui t is very s eldom equ al to the d irec t prod uct of th e volts and a mperes.
In order to f in d th e powe r of a single phase ac circ uit the prod uc t of volts and amperes
