Performance model assessment for multi-junction concentrating photovoltaic systems

Riley, Daniel R.; Stein, Joshua S.

Four approaches to modeling multi-junction concentrating photovoltaic system performance are assessed by comparing modeled performance to measured performance. Measured weather, irradiance, and system performance data were collected on two systems over a one month period. Residual analysis is used to assess the models and to identify opportunities for model improvement.
