7.9 Entering the Value of CO
2
Avoided
The CO
2
factor indicates how much CO
2
is produced during the power generation of one kilowatt
hour. The CO
2
factor can vary depending on the grid operator. You can find out the level of the CO
2
factor for one kilowatt hour of electric current by contacting your grid operator.
Sunny Portal can use the CO
2
factor value to calculate how much CO
2
was saved due to the power
generation of your plant.
You can view the value of CO

7.10 Calculating the Predicted Annual Yield
Sunny Portal can display in a table how the predicted annual yield of your plant is likely to be
distributed throughout the months of a year.
The predicted annual yield of the plant is calculated from the specific annual yield (kWh/kWp) at the
plant location multiplied by the plant power.
You can obtain the specific annual yield for your plant location from irradiation maps. Local
conditions such as shading of your plant or the plant orientation are not taken into account by
Sunny Portal.
