Resumen
This paper proposes a method for measuring the degradation rate of crystalline silicon PV modules at plant level in two different ways as a form of verification. As actual levels of degradation rate have been observed to be as low as 0.2%/a, the uncertainties make it difficult to measure this value accurately at plant level.

This paper proposes a method for measuring the degradation rate of crystalline silicon PV modules at plant level in two different ways as a form of verification. As actual levels of degradation rate have been observed to be as low as 0.2%/a, the uncertainties make it difficult to measure this value accurately at plant level. However, despite the low value, it is still important to know the actual degradation rate due to its impact on energy yield. In this paper, two ways of measuring the degradation rate at plant level are proposed. These two methods, with different uncertainty sources, are proposed to be used jointly in order to have a better approach to the real value. Finally, an example of measurement in a 1.78 MW PV plant is presented. [--]
