Recently, an analysis conducted by TUV Rheinland PTL, LLC, a globally recognized photovoltaic testing network on the roof top modules employing crystalline silicon solar cells, established that the power production ability of the cells essentially decreased by 0.5% per every Celsius degree increase.
The study was conducted by TUV Rheinland PTL and the Arizona University. The consequence of this study is expected to make significant bearing on the choice of the resident and consumers in their preference of PV module in the near future.
President of TUV Rheinland PTL, Dr. GovindasamyTamizhmani and operations section head of the company Joseph Kuitche are scheduling to lay bare the correlation between the module temperature and climatic conditions through a 20 minute presentation. The presentation is scheduled to ensue between 9 a.m. to 1p.m.on the morning of 14th July during Intersolar North America's "Crystalline Silicon II – Modules & Systems" conference at the Intercontinental Hotel, 888 Howard Ave., San Francisco, Calif.
The intended presentation is expected to embrace the qualities of a range of weather conditions that have a bearing on the operating temperature of the module and diverse types of thermal models that are designed to envisage the temperatures of roof top and open rack type of crystalline silicon PV modules.
TUV Rheinland PTL, having its testing facilities in Tempe, Ariz, facilitates module safety and performance testing, and executes market certification for every segment of PV and solar thermal products.
