Abstract

Data for 2 front-facing and 4 rear-facing IMT irradiance sensors placed on a scaled-down setup that replicate a PV array in a highly-reflective rooftop. The test-bed consist of 3 rows of 20x2ft aluminum sheets (the “panels”), supported by a Unistrut structure, with 6 irradiance sensors (IMT) measuring front and rear irradiance in the center module of the center row. High quality weather-station data available

PV Module BOM and Test Data

Dataset Karas, Joseph

This dataset contains compiled results from annual PV Module Reliability Scorecards published by PV Evolution Labs – also known as PVEL. These scorecards show summary results of PV module testing performed by PVEL and name specific models of PV modules as "Top Performers" in various tests. Full details on testing, Top Performer status and other criteria for inclusion in Scorecards are documented in reports and online documentation available from https://www.modulescorecard.pvel.com. This dataset is not affiliated with PVEL and is intended only to simplify sorting and filtering Scorecard data and finding specific PV module models and Top Performer results.

PV module spectral response measurements - Data and Resources

Dataset Driesse, Anton ; Theristis, Marios ; Stein, Joshua S

"This dataset includes spectral response curves for 12 commercial silicon module types that are deployed at SNL in Albuquerque. The modules chosen for evaluation were originally purchased by SNL for the PV Lifetime project (renamed to Systems Long-Term Evaluation [SLTE]). The majority of those modules are deployed outdoors for long-term evaluation, but several modules of each type were placed in storage for future comparison purposes. One stored module of each type was sent to NREL for the spectral response measurements. NREL used the recently developed Module Quantum Efficiency (QE) test bed. What makes this system unique is that it scansmore »« less

Measuring Irradiance for Bifacial PV Systems

Conference Gostein, Michael ; Ayala Pelaez, Silvana ; Deline, Chris ; ...

The advent of bifacial PV systems drives new requirements for irradiance measurement at PV projects for monitoring and assessment purposes. While there are several approaches, there is still no uniform guidance for what irradiance parameters to measure and for the optimal selection and placement of irradiance sensors at bifacial arrays. Standards are emerging to address these topics but are not yet available. In this paper we review approaches to bifacial irradiance monitoring which are being discussed in the research literature and pursued in early systems, to provide a preliminary guide and framework for developers planning bifacial projects.
