“…But degradation analysis is also governed by the availability, integrity and reliability of the data. Performance monitoring is an essential pre-requisite for the degradation analysis of a PV system with continuous tracking of power production and healthiness of the system [8]. Effective and efficient monitoring and analysis procedures not only identify the inherent issues, but also help in their rectification.…”

This paper presents an investigation of data monitoring quality and evaluation of performance degradation of four different multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules installed in the higher latitude conditions in southern Norway. Degradation of each module has been investigated in terms of degradation of short-circuit current (ISC), open-circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF) and maximum power (PMPP). The analysis for the period of monitoring data from 2014 to 2018 show no considerable module degradation compared to the standard degradation rate of all parameters. The statistical analysis of I SC shows an average degradation of 0.17% for all modules. Spectral corrections were applied to I SC and P MPP , in addition to temperature and irradiance corrections. Among the parameters, FF and ISC show slight degradation based on the yearly average method. Infrared images were used for validation of findings, but due to the unavailability of images from the initial installation period, the image results are inconclusive. Performance ratio plots based on corrected I SC values show very stable performances over the five-year period. The results suggest that PV modules in cold conditions may undergo lower degradation compared to typical degradation rates experienced in other regions.

“…Each tenant will pay the difference between its individual consumption and the specific PV-generated-electricity; this difference is allocated to the electric utility company (CFE) to that tenant's utility account, according to a pre-arranged share. The PV Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) has experienced a significant decrease from 2009 to 2014, which is estimated at -18.4% compound annual growth rate, even though, for the average electricity consumer PV investment is still not competitive with grid electricity prices [12].…”

In this paper the performance and financial analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic system installed at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is evaluated. The power plant has the capacity of 14.8 kW and has been under operation since August 2014. This solar PV system is composed of two 7.4 kW sub-arrays, one fixed and one with single axis tracking. First, an overview of the system followed by local weather characteristics in Boca Raton, Florida is presented. In addition, monthly averaged daily solar radiation in Boca Raton as well as system AC are calculated utilizing the PVwatts simulation calculator. Inputs such as module and inverter specifications are applied to the System Advisor Model (SAM) to design and optimize the system. Finally, the estimated local load demand as well as simulation results are extracted and analyzed.
