Abstract

In the presented paper, we introduce an approach to rate the performance of modules under
specific real weather conditions, since solar modules are rated according to standard test
conditions which do not give evidence of the performance under real outdoor conditions.
Therefore,we categorize the daily weather at a photovoltaic test site into 7 different climatic-day
classifications and multiple cloud scenarios. Two different approaches to evaluate the cloud
conditions were investigated. Furthermore, we use the developed approach to rate the
performance of 8 different commercially available photovoltaic modules that have been installed
and measured in Germany. The evaluation shows that module properties (eg, temperature
coefficient, spectral response, and mechanical construction) have a major influence on the
performance of photovoltaic modules under different weather conditions.
