 While NOCT may be useful for gauging normal harvests, STC is used for system component((like controllers)) sizing because the panels really can make STC power((or even more)) in some real world conditions.  The system needs to be sized to deal with high-output situations, particularly overly high panel voltages.  While NOCT may be useful for gauging normal harvests, STC is used for system component((like controllers)) sizing because the panels really can make STC power((or even more)) in some real world conditions.  The system needs to be sized to deal with high-output situations, particularly overly high panel voltages.
