| Popis: | 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 4601-4606 The need for increased penetration of Renewable Energy Sources and gradual decarbonisation of the energy supply chain is well established. Photovoltaic (PV) technology is constantly emerging as a key player in the green energy generation market. Numerous PV technologies are competing for market share, making the choice of the most suitable type of equipment essential for the viability of any application. In this study the reallife performance of four different PV technologies in actual southern Mediterranean climatic conditions was examined. A quality check of the recorded data throughout the monitoring period was carried out, followed by the calculation of the performance indices proposed by the IEC 61724 international standard on PV system performance monitoring and analysis. The outdoor evaluation has shown that grid-connected PV systems can have a major impact on the future energy mix of countries with high solar resources. The module technology that will claim a leading role in the PV industry will depend almost entirely on the future trends of manufacturing and production costs as well as, the BoS costs related to the final installation. |
