Comparative study of temperature distribution impact on prediction accuracy of simulation approaches for poly and mono crystalline solar modules

Ali Sohani et al.

Summary: The experimental data of a 300W poly and a 300W mono crystalline solar module were analyzed over a year to evaluate the relationship between standard deviation of temperature distribution and prediction error in different simulation approaches. The study found that engineering methods like nominal operating cell temperature and nominal module operating temperature lose accuracy at high standard deviation levels, around 15 degrees C, with voltage and temperature showing the lowest and highest dependencies on temperature distribution variability. The error values for power prediction using one, two, and three-dimensional numerical modeling approaches were also compared for poly and mono crystalline modules, with the highest error being 14.4% and 8.5%, respectively.
