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 _______________________________________________
