1. A Comparison of Predicted to Measured Photovoltaic Module Performance
Report Number: 7335
Published: 3/1/2009
Authors: A. Hunter Fanney, Brian P Dougherty, Mark W. Davis
Abstract: Computer simulation models to accurately predict the electrical performance of photovoltaic modules are essential. Without such models, potential purchasers of photovoltaic systems have insufficient information to judge the relative merits and cost e ...
