“…Applying decomposition models to approximate the diffuse irradiance from horizontal irradiance (e.g. Erbs et al, 1982;Maxwell, 1987). However, due to the non-injective nature of the mapping from GHI to DHI, using decomposition models introduces large errors (Ridley et al, 2010).…”

The Perez irradiance model offers a practical representation of solar irradiance by considering the sky hemisphere as a three part geometrical framework, namely, circumsolar disc, horizon band and the isotropic background. Furthermore, the simplified Perez diffuse irradiance model, commonly known as the Perez transposition model, is one of the most widely adopted models in tilted irradiance assessments. Although the set of model coefficients reported by Perez et al. (1990) is often considered to be at an asymptotic level of optimization, later analyses have shown that coefficients which are adjusted to local conditions perform better than the original set.The model coefficients can be adjusted locally based on multiple datasets of diffuse and global irradiance on tilted and horizontal planes. In this paper, we present a different approach to adjust the coefficients, by using only measurements of global irradiance on tilted and horizontal planes from a tropical site, Singapore. A complete set of mathematical solutions to the inverse problem, i.e., converting irradiance from tilt to horizontal is also proposed. The data can then be used to generate irradiance maps from in-plane irradiance measurements at photovoltaic (PV) systems. Such maps are get- * Corresponding author. ting more relevant for PV grid integration due to the variable nature of solar power output.

“…Erbs univariate decomposition model (Erbs et al, 1982) was considered by Yang et al (2013a). Irradiance data collected using silicon sensors on two tilted planes, namely, a 18.3 • NE facing plane and a 6.1 • SW facing plane, were individually used to reconstruct the GHI measurements made using a SPN1 pyranometer.…”

“…The simulations require the input of the horizontal solar radiation and the ambienttemperature data, both on a monthly basis, which have been obtained from SoDa [10] and PVGIS [11], respectively. The solar radiation received on the surface of each of the PV generators is estimated using widely accepted solar radiation models [12][13][14]. The estimation of the energy production of the reference system is simulated with a tool developed at IES-UPM and based on widely accepted models, whose details have been described elsewhere [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords:Residential PV system Energy production Performance Ratio Performance Index CIS HIT PI FranceThe main objective of this paper is to review the state of the art of residential PV systems in France. This is done analyzing the operational data of 6868 installations. Three main questions are posed. How much energy do they produce? What level of performance is associated to their production? Which are the key parameters that most influence their quality? During the year 2010, the PV systems in France have produced a mean annual energy of 1163 kWh/kW p . As a whole, the orientation of PV generators causes energy productions to be some 7% inferior to optimally oriented PV systems. The mean Performance Ratio is 76% and the mean Performance Index is 85%. That is to say, the energy produced by a typical PV system in France is 15% inferior to the energy produced by a very high quality PV system. On average, the real power of the PV modules falls 4.9% below its corresponding nominal power announced on the manufacturer's datasheet. A brief analysis by PV modules technology has led to relevant observations about two technologies in particular. On the one hand, the PV systems equipped with heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) modules show performances higher than average. On the other hand, the systems equipped with the copper indium (di)selenide (CIS) modules show a real power that is 16% lower than their nominal valué.

In order to evaluate the performance of solar home systems (SHSs), data on local insolation is a prerequisite. We present a new method to estimate insolation if direct measurements are unavailable. This method comprises estimation of daily irradiation by correlating photovoltaic (PV) module currents from a number of SHSs, located a few kilometres apart. The method was tested with a 3-year time series for nine SHS in a remote area in Indonesia. Verification with reference cell measurements over a 2-month period showed that our method could determine average daily irradiation with a mean bias error of 1Á3%. Daily irradiation figures showed a standard error of 5%. The systematic error in this method is estimated to be around 10%. Especially if calibration with measurements during a short period is possible, the proposed method provides more accurate monthly insolation figures compared with the readily available satellite data from the NASA SSE database. An advantage of the proposed method over satellite data is that irradiation figures can be calculated on a daily basis, while the SSE database only provides monthly averages. It is concluded that the new method is a valuable tool to obtain information on insolation when long-term measurements are absent.
