A single procedure for helping PV designers to select silicon PV modules and evaluate the loss resistances
Carrero, C.; Amador, J.; Arnaltes, S. - In: Renewable Energy 32 (2007) 15, pp. 2579-2589
When a photovoltaic system is to be sized, different PV modules are considered. The optimisation of such systems is always the goal, but the choice of the PV module with best performance should also be considered. Nevertheless, selecting a module from catalogue data has certain inconveniences....
