Photo Voltaic (PV) technology continues to advance, seeking to optimize efficiency and performance. Half-cut and back contact PV modules have emerged as a promising innovation, aiming to enhance energy yield and durability. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of outdoor performance in normal operation considering four technologies of PV modules. The research focuses on evaluating the efficiency of these modules in real-world conditions. A dedicated outdoor test facility at SolarTechLAB exposed the modules to varying solar radiance and environmental factors. We measured the current-voltage (I-V) curves of each module, and we calculated the performance ratio using the lEC 61724-1 Standard. We determined that half- cut cells present a higher performance ratio than full-cell modules in a range between 3.7 to 7 %.

Abstract
Photo Voltaic (PV) technology continues to advance, seeking to optimize efficiency and performance. Half-cut and back contact PV modules have emerged as a promising innovation, aiming to enhance energy yield and durability. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of outdoor performance in normal operation considering four technologies of PV modules. The research focuses on evaluating the efficiency of these modules in real-world conditions. A dedicated outdoor test facility at SolarTechLAB exposed the modules to varying solar radiance and environmental factors. We measured the current-voltage (I-V) curves of each module, and we calculated the performance ratio using the lEC 61724-1 Standard. We determined that half- cut cells present a higher performance ratio than full-cell modules in a range between 3.7 to 7 %.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
