Abstract
Temperature and solar irradiance are among the most relevant parameters that affect the energy yield of photovoltaic cells and modules. A rise in the module temperature leads to a significant decrease in the open circuit voltage and a small increase in the short circuit current. Here we use a new tool to determine temperature coefficients as well as to assess power rating of multi c-Si, mono c-Si, CdTe, and CIGS-based PV modules in controlled indoor conditions per IEC 60891 and IEC 61853-1. We use the tool to explore how nonuniformities in module temperature affect the accuracy of the temperature coefficients.
