FINAL RESULTS OF HIGH PRECISION INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION OF VARIOUS THIN-FILM PV MODULE TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

Comprehensive investigations of different thin-film technologies (a-Si, a-Si/μ-Si, a-Si/a-Si, CIS, CIGSand CdTe) as well as crystalline technologies (mono- and polycrystalline) were performed in the laboratory andoutdoors. Measurements according to IEC 61853-1 [3] and IEC 61646 [1] were performed to determine thetemperature and low irradiation behaviour of each technology. In addition, spectral response measurements wereperformed for single-junction and multi-junction cells in order to characterize the spectral behaviour of eachtechnology. To measure the energy yield the specimens were exposed at a test-site for long-term outdoor testing.High-precision measurement equipment yielded a large database of indoor and outdoor module characteristics andmeasurements of even small effects, in order to quantify their effects on the energy yield for the test site in Cologne,Germany.
