Calculated from the panel area (2.51 m²): about 21.1% for the 530 W class. 530 W over 2.51 m² equals about 211 W per square meter.
PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 888 kWh per year per 530 W panel in Los Angeles and about 973 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).
With γ = −0.333 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 17.2% below the STC rating.
With the Tesla 1538000-xx-y (max DC 600 V, MPPT from 60 V, datasheet) in Los Angeles the calculator gives 2–11 panels per string (Voc at 2 °C = 52.2 V, Vmp at 74 °C cell = 33.9 V). Final design must follow the inverter manual and NEC 690.7.
Voltage check against the APsystems (Alt Power System) datasheet: Voc when cold 52.2 V vs max input 60 V; Vmp when hot 33.9 V vs MPPT low 28 V; recommended module power 265–570 W. Confirm on the microinverter maker’s compatibility list.
Yes. Rear gain depends on mounting height and ground reflectance.
AAxxxUS-6x24GG was a PVEL Top Performer in 2026 (DH, LID+LETID, MSS, PID, TC).
