How do you test a photovoltaic system?

The power generation of a photovoltaic (PV) system may be documented by a capacity test [1, 2] that quantifies the power output of the system at set conditions, such as an irradiance of 1000 W/m2, an ambient temperature of 20°C, and a wind speed of 1 m/s. A longer test must be used to verify the system performance under a range of conditions.

Why do we need a performance guarantee for a large photovoltaic system?

Documentation of the energy yield of a large photovoltaic (PV) system over a substantial period can be useful to measure a performance guarantee, as an assessment of the health of the system, for verification of a performance model to then be applied to a new system, or for a variety of other purposes.

Why is an accurate PV model important?

The accurate prediction of energy generation and perfect analysis of the performance of SPV system is possible by the precise measurement of current and voltage (I-V) characteristics under varying environmental conditions. Therefore, an accurate PV model is important for the accuracy of such measurement.

How accurate is the pI value based on a PV model?

The expected output was calculated using an accepted PV model, such as the NREL System Advisor Model (SAM), or a regression model, therefore, the accuracy and uncertainty of the PI value is dependent on the accuracy and uncertainty of the model.
