Analysis of a CIS based PV generator versus a multicrystalline generator under outdoor long-term exposure
The worldwide growth of the PV market has been almost exponential during the last years. Together with conventional crystalline (c-Si) PV modules, “new” commercially available PV technologies such as copper indium ... -
Analysis of polyamide and fluoropolymer backsheets: Degradation and insulation failure in field-aged photovoltaic modules
Durability of photovoltaic (PV) modules is of great concern not only from the point of view of cost-effectiveness but also from the point of view of safety and sustainability. The backsheet of a PV module is one of the ... -
A comparative study of degradation and performance of thin film photovoltaic generators versus a multi-crystalline generator
Thin film solar cells (TFSC) are supposed to have higher energy yield rates than crystalline silicon (Si-x) mainly possible by some enhancements like lower temperature coefficient and higher absorption of diffuse light. ... -
Compensation of forecast error in large PV plants with battery storage: associated strategies
As penetration rates of utility-scale photovoltaics (PV) increases, large PV plants will participate in the daily wholesale electricity market in the same way that wind farms. Then, PV plant owner can receive some kind of ... -
