Outdoor Monitoring and High Voltage Bias Testing of Thin-Film Photovoltaic Modules - Year III Summary Report

Report Number

FSEC-CR-1721-07

Keywords

PV Cells; PV Thin-Films; Thin-film photovoltaic modules; Solar irradiance; PV performance monitoring; Meteorological parameters; High voltage bias testing

Abstract

Thin film Photovoltaic (PV) modules from leading US PV manufacturers are being tested at Florida Solar Energy Center. The important PV module parameters namely array output voltage, current, and back-of-module temperatures along with meteorological parameters namely; solar irradiance, UV irradiance, relative humidity, ambient temperature, pressure and wind speed are being monitored with an aim to study the correlation between the PV performance, solar irradiance and meteorological parameters.
