[RE-wrenches] Percent of DC capacity that is inverted to AC kWh?

We reached the cap for the utility where we work for renewable energy 
interconnection until there is Rhode Island State legislative action to 
raise the cap.  I am going through the utility records as they are not 
completely accurate. Does anyone know of a reference that can point to 
what percentage of dc capacity actually comes out as ac power.  Looking 
at various inefficiencies and the battery load, I am estimating about a 
15% "loss".  I realize a lot depends upon the design, and the state of 
the batteries, but I am just looking for sounding board opinions, or a 
reference if available. Thank you, Chris
