Preliminary assessment of a small-scale rooftop PV-grid tied in Norwegian climatic conditions

The Role of Solar Photovoltaics and Energy Storage Solutions in a 100% Renewable Energy System for Finland in 2050

“…Indeed, other studies are also confirming the feasibility of solar PV systems in Nordic conditions [63]. The seasonal complement of solar PV and wind power production in Finland appears obvious, despite the intermittent nature of each.…”

Comparative performance investigation of mono- and poly-crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules for use in grid-connected photovoltaic systems in dry climates

“…Over the last few years, various studies have been conducted on the performance parameters of installed PV power plants in different geographical locations, with different climatic conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Performance analyses investigate the influences of PV module technologies, inverters, shading, wiring, array inclinations, tracking and fixed PV systems, type of grid connections, etc.…”

A thermal model for amorphous silicon photovoltaic integrated in ETFE cushion roofs

“…As the electricity efficiency is about 5-19%, most solar energy is converted into thermal energy and results in high temperature [1,2]. Accurate prediction of the high temperature is necessary for evaluating PV performances, such as the PV efficiency [3,4], stress distribution [5] and life cycle assessment [6,7]. In this case, thermal models are indispensable to predict temperature characteristics and values of PV panels.…”
