New journal paper - An Updated Simplified Energy Yield Model for Recent Photovoltaic Module Technologies

Our paper An Updated Simplified Energy Yield Model for Recent Photovoltaic Module Technologies, by Anatoli Chatzipanagi, Nigel Taylor, Ana M. Martinez, Teodora S. Lyubenova, Ewan Dunlop and me has just been published!

In this paper we update PVGIS’ performance model to reflect the huge improvements that PV technologies have experience in the last 14 years. The main takeaways are that current PV modules feature a consistenly lower temperature coefficient and better low light performance. As a result, energy yield is typically increased. Integrating our results in PV simulations will reflect more accurately the improved performance of current and future PV technologies.
