How do I know what derate to use?
A. If you are reporting to an agency for rebates, you need to check with them to see what derate they are requiring. Some states, such as Wisconsin have a set derate of .8. California derates the system for rebate purposes using only the inverter derate. Please check with your reporting agency. If you are using the software to size a system, we recommend that you use the calculate derate option for more accuracy.
