Performance of photovoltaic modules in a temperate maritime climate
conference contribution
posted on 2011-03-11, 12:52 authored by Sheryl WilliamsSheryl Williams, Ralph Gottschalg, David InfieldThe energy production of photovoltaic modules is a
topic of growing importance. Under real operating
conditions two modules with the same name-plate
efficiency may have very different energy productions,
despite being installed at the same site. In this paper we
investigate the performance of a variety of modules
(crystalline, polycrystalline and single and multi junction
amorphous silicon and cadmium telluride) installed in
Loughborough in the UK. The paper investigates the
reasons for the significant difference in performance of
modules of the same technology and efficiency. The
analysis is carried out on the basis of influence of device
temperature, magnitude of irradiance, incident spectrum
and age of device.
