Dc Ac Ratio

Calculates the DC/AC ratio (inverter loading ratio) for solar PV systems and estimates annual energy yield accounting for system losses, inverter efficiency, and clipping losses from inverter overloading. Uses a quadratic clipping model to balance higher array utilisation against peak-hour energy curtailment, per IEC 62548 and AS/NZS 5033.
