Note: This reference system is much better than typical rooftop systems in Singapore.
Severe soiling due to bird droppings Very good ventilation (slightly overestimated due to reduced module tilt)
Typical rooftop system PR in Singapore Frequent inverter fault, significant downtime
System numbering is reordered for anonymity * PR values are corrected for DC cabling loss
