NOTE: before using these calculations for anything serious, you should read [this]

PVGIS estimates of solar electricity generation

Location: 44°32'18" North, 28°36'40" East, Elevation: 61 m a.s.l.,

Solar radiation database used: PVGIS-CMSAF

Nominal power of the PV system: 5.0 kW (crystalline silicon)

Estimated losses due to temperature and low irradiance: 10.5% (using local ambient temperature)
Estimated loss due to angular reflectance effects: 2.9%
Other losses (cables, inverter etc.): 14.0%
Combined PV system losses: 25.3%

Fixed system: inclination=35°, orientation=0°
