This paper presents an analysis of spectral impacts on mc-Si and new generation CdTe in
two distinct regions of Brazil: Florianópolis-SC (27° S, 48° W) in the South, and Assu-RN (5° …

Santiago de Chile frequently suffers from atmospheric pollution that contributes to the
decrease of solar irradiance on the surface, leading to losses in the energy output of …

Abstract A Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) is frequently used in solar power for long-term
energy yield analysis. Different approaches have been reported focusing on concentrating …

We propose a method for a spectral correction of the predicted PV yield and we show the
importance of the spectral mismatch on the solar cell. Indeed, currently predicted PV yield …

The outdoor spectral shift factor, sometimes referred to as spectral mismatch factor, is
calculated for the next generation of First Solar cadmium telluride, CdTe, photovoltaic …

A comparison of the effects of spectral changes in the atmosphere on cadmium telluride and
monocrystalline silicon PV modules was performed using the spectral responsivity of both …

Photovoltaic module performance is defined at standard test conditions, which includes a
defined spectral irradiance distribution. However, environmental conditions in the field often …

Photovoltaics is amongst the most important technologies for renewable energy sources,
and plays a key role in the development of a society with a smaller environmental footprint …

Spectral distribution of sunlight in the Brazilian Northeast, where most large-scale power
plants operate, is bluebiased in comparison with STC. Spectral correction of peak-power …

In this study 1-minute measurements of spectrally distributed irradiance in the Netherlands
are evaluated by investigating the Average Photon Energy (APE). The measured data are …
