  • Energy Yield Prediction of Amorphous Silicon PV Modules Using Full Time Data Series of Irradiance and Temperature for Different Geographical Locations
    2011
    Co-Authors: Domenico Chianese, Tomas Cebecauer, Alessandro Virtuani, Artur Skoczek
    Abstract:

    For several reasons, Amorphous Silicon is expected to be the preferred technology for hot climates: low temperature coefficients for maximum power, prevalence of annealing effect over light induced degradation, better matching of the solar spectrum due to air mass effects and smaller fraction of diffused light in comparison to direct one. An empirical method of the energy yield prediction of the Amorphous Silicon technology using full time series of irradiance and temperature for different geographical locations was developed, validated for a roof integrated PV system and a free mounted triple junction Amorphous Silicon Module and simulated for different sites in Europe and Africa.

  • Evaluation of Amorphous Silicon Module outdoor performances
    Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 1992
    Co-Authors: H. S. Costa, Ph. Ragot, D. Desmettre
    Abstract:

    Abstract A two-year program, called ASILEC, between the French Atomic Energy Commission and the Commission of European Communities was initiated in 1990 to investigate the effects related to stability performance of Amorphous Silicon Modules as a function of time. The on-site tests of Modules operating under normal in-situ conditions are carried out on the CEA-Cadarache test facility in the south of France. The Photovoltaic Group at the Technical Valorisation Laboratory CEA-Cadarache has been assigned the lead responsibility for measuring, identifying, and analysing the quantitative weight of phenomena likely to cause a decrease in performance of a-Si:H Modules under natural sunlight exposure. In this work we present the results of measurements in outdoor conditions of 216 Amorphous Modules commercially available, made by three American and two French manufacturers. Test results of short-term degradation and long-term degradation are analysed.

  • A comparison of degradation in three Amorphous Silicon PV Module technologies
    Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2010
    Co-Authors: C. Radue, E.e. Van Dyk
    Abstract:

    Abstract Three commercial Amorphous Silicon Modules manufactured by monolithic integration and consisting of three technology types were analysed in this study. These Modules were deployed outdoors for 14 months and underwent degradation. All three Modules experienced the typical light-induced degradation (LID) described by the Staebler–Wronski effect, and this was followed by further degradation. A 14 W single junction Amorphous Silicon Module degraded by about 45% of the initial measured maximum power output ( P MAX ) at the end of the study. A maximum of 30% of this has been attributed to LID and the further 15% to cell mismatch and cell degradation. The other two Modules, a 64 W triple junction Amorphous Silicon Module, and a 68 W flexible triple junction Amorphous Silicon Module, exhibited LID followed by seasonal variation in the degraded P MAX . The 64 W Module showed a maximum degradation in P MAX of about 22%. This is approximately 4% more than the manufacturer allowed for the initial LID. However, the seasonal variation in P MAX seems to be centred around the manufacturer’s rating (±4%). The 68 W flexible Module has shown a maximum decrease in P MAX of about 27%. This decrease is about 17% greater than the manufacturer allowed for the initial LID.
