Instructions for Line 8: To determine the kW equivalent for each panel, multiply the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC)
efficiency rating by the gross area (in m²). The result is the kW equivalent for the panel. The efficiency rating is the first value in the
ISO Efficiency Equation for either SI units or IP Units (found in the “Technical Information” area of the collector’s SRCC certificate). For
example, if the equation is expressed as “η= 0.749 - 3.69060(P/G) - 0.00551(P²/G), the efficiency rating is 0.749. If this same collector’s
gross area (found in the “Collector Specifications” area of the certificate) is 2.993 m², then the kW equivalent of the collector would be
.749 x 2.993 = 2.242 kW. Enter the sum of the kW equivalents of all collector panels on line 8.
