I’m embarassed to have such a newbie question, but I’m attempting to validate results being reported by my Microinverter gateway and would appreciate clarification on a detail that still leaves me confused:
Is Watts AC calculated as Volts AC x Amos AC or is there some correction factor such as when converting VoltAmpsDC to Watts AC?
My gateway is reporting:
VoltsAC = 249.4VAC
AmpsAC = 0.98A
Power = 265.211W
249.4 x 0.98 = 244.412, so I’m struggling to understand the 7.84% / 20.8W gap to the higher output power that is being reported…
