Customer ServiceThe intention of the »Photovoltaics Report« is to provide up-to-date information on the PV market and on efficiencies of solar cells, modules and systems. Moreover, data on inverters, energy payback time and price developments are presented. The intention of the "Photovoltaics Report " is to provide up-to-date information.
Photovoltaics is a fast growing market: The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of PV installations was about 26% between 2013 to 2023. The intention of the »Photovoltaics Report« is to provide up-to-date information on the PV market and on efficiencies of solar cells, modules and systems.
To analyze the profitability and the energy yield of a utility scale PV plant, the measurement of the generated energy at the revenue meter located at the connection point assigned by the utility would be sufficient.
What is needed to enable this potential is to reach a consensus over the outdoor test conditions (OTCs) that are representative of the atmospheric conditions of different regions of the world, so that the PV cell designs can be optimized based on their location of installation.
The power generation of a photovoltaic (PV) system may be documented by a capacity test [1, 2] that quantifies the power output of the system at set conditions, such as an irradiance of 1000 W/m2, an ambient temperature of 20°C, and a wind speed of 1 m/s. A longer test must be used to verify the system performance under a range of conditions.
For these reasons, monitoring that registers the DC production at least on the junction box level is strongly recommended. The availability of the monitoring data should be 99% or higher. Periods in which either data for irradiance or production is not available, should not be included in the analysis of the PV plant.
