| Abstract: | Within the framework of Task 2 of the Photovoltaic Power System Programme (PVPS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA) performance results of grid-connected and stand-alone PV systems in different countries have been compared. In this paper the effect of the elevated cell temperature on the annual performance of 18 selected grid-connected PV systems of different mounting (freestanding, roof mounted and integrated PV facades) from different geographic locations in five countries are analyzed. Annual datasets of hourly data have been used for this in depth analysis. |
