Get StartedStatistical Summary of Key Performance Indicators Across All 75 PV Systems Availability ranges from 31% to 100% with an average of 95.1% (Table 5). For each timestep (ideally 15-minute or one-hour intervals), the measured production was compared to the modeled production.
Performance ratings of PV modules are measured under standard test conditions (STC) of 1,000 W/m2 of sunlight and 25°C cell temperature. In practice, however, the intensity of sunlight is usually less than 1,000 W/m2, and the cell temperature is typically hotter than 25°C.
Gaps in PV performance data: Some PV assessments relied on incomplete or low-resolution measured production data, which affects calculation of availability metrics. In some cases, the data was missing for ranges of dates.
Distribution of values of "Performance Ratio" across all 75 PV systems. Energy ratio is the total measured production divided by total modeled production, and thus includes both the effects of availability (downtime) and performance ratio (inefficiency) in the same metric. Energy ratio ranges from 29% to 100% with an average of 74.6% (Table 7).
Performance ratio: When available, the PV systems delivered on average 78.6% of the reference yield as modeled in SAM. While this does indicate some room for improvement through attentive monitoring and optimal O&M, the value is consistent with fleet averages reported in the other referenced studies.
Results are based on production data collected from these systems, provided by federal agencies participating in the FEMP’s Solar PV Performance Initiative. Production data was combined with coincident insolation and ambient temperature to analyze how actual performance compares with a performance model.
