UNDERSTANDING TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON PV SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

Presented at the 3rd World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 11-18 May 2003, Osaka, Japan.

Abstract:
Within the framework of Task 2 of the Photovoltaic Power System Programme (PVPS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA) performance results of grid-connected and stand-alone PV systems in different countries have been compared. In this paper the effect of the elevated cell temperature on the annual performance of 18 selected grid-connected PV systems of different mounting (freestanding, roof mounted and integrated PV facades) from different geographic locations in five countries are analysed. Annual datasets of hourly data have been used for this in depth analysis.
