Abstract

This work illustrates the study on two commercially available photovoltaic modules: a copper indium diselenide (CIS) module and a cadmium telluride (CdTe) one, under real operating conditions in order to investigate on the effects of environmental conditions on their energy production. Dusts and aeriform materials can influence long term yield of photovoltaic modules. There is a specific loss due to loss since the difference losses that reduce the power are due to: mismatch, dusts, array temperature, inverter and wiring.
