Solar PV modules will produce a maximum output of between 180-210 watts pending on which modules you use each in bright sunlight (warranted under standard test conditions ‘STC’). This is written as 180Wp (watts peak). For example, if six modules are connected together they will produce 6 x 180 =1080 Wp or 1.08kWp (kilowatts peak) In the case of the 210wp only 5 panels would be necersary to achieve 6 x 210 = 1050 Wp.
