The Panel Generation Factor (PGF) of photovoltaic plants
This paper discusses about the photovoltaic (PV) generator/inverter power sizing factor in grid-connected PV systems. The optimal sizing factor is defined as sizing factor value that maximizes the yearly energy injected to the grid. The criteria obtained for the sizing factor choice come from the estimation of the injected energy by means of a
