Energy performance of different photovoltaic module technologies under outdoor conditions (2014, background): “The peak power of the modules under STC varies due to the variation in the incident irradiance spectrum [4].”
Estimating the uncertainty in long-term photovoltaic yield predictions (2013, background): “For instance, module tests in the United States ([9], [10]) and Australia [11] revealed differences between measured and rated module STC power in the range of +4.”
Analysis of photovoltaic system performance time series: Seasonality and performance loss (2015, background): “The seasonality of c-Si technologies is mainly attributed to meteorological conditions such as the total irradiance, its spectral content, the angle of incidence, the ambient temperature and the wind speed and features a prominent annual seasonal pattern, with slight variations due to meteorological”
Early degradation of silicon PV modules and guaranty conditions (2011, background): “, 2005) in recent years problems have been detected in plants operating for short periods of time (Carr and Prior, 2004; Gi-Hwan Kang et al., 2010).”
