Issues related to solar tracking and optical systems and the deterioration of solar cells are generally considered as factors that degrade the performance of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) system. In order to maintain a satisfactory system performance over a long time period, it is important to develop method for non-destructively evaluating the factors contributing to degradation and the level of degradation of the system performance. To assess a degradation factor of the performance of a CPV system, this paper emphasizes the need for measuring the characteristic values of the system such as short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and the fill factor under various conditions when installing a CPV system.
