The logic of this rule for calculating PV amperage seems a little off to
me. - It is a calculation that is set in stone as a bedrock truth of the
solar industry. (1.25 X 1.25 = 1.56).
The multiplier of 1.25 for a continuous load is relevant for sure. To
multiply again by another 1.25 seems excessive.
Although it is certainly true that modules put out considerably more
power when it is cold out, in my experience that is almost all due to
the increase in voltage. The amperage goes up a little, but no where
near 25%.
Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it can't happen. Are there
circumstances where the amperage of a PV module can go up by 25%?
Thanks,
Drake
