1. A system for analyzing the performance of a photovoltaic array, the system comprising:

  • a memory;

    a processor in communication with the memory, the processor operable to execute computer readable medium instructions, comprising;

    an expected output module that determines an expected power output of one or more photovoltaic strings and inverters of the photovoltaic array;

    a performance module that identifies a photovoltaic string or inverter that is generating less power than expected;

    a loss quantifier module that;

    receives the expected power output of the photovoltaic string or inverter that is generating less power than expected;

    compares the expected power output to an actual power output of the photovoltaic string or inverter that is generating less power than expected; and

    determines a reason the photovoltaic string or inverter is generating less power than expected; and

    a report module that, as a result of the computer readable medium instructions, generates output indicating the reason the photovoltaic string or inverter is generating less power than expected, and provides the report to a user.
