Abstract
Photovoltaic Modules In article number 2200579, Youri Blom, Malte Ruben Vogt, and co-workers compare the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules operating in test conditions and in outdoors conditions with each other. The comparison is done based on a loss analysis, where the different loss components in the PV system are quantified. Besides, this work has quantified the fill factor gain, which is the phenomenon where the fill factor increases, due to current mismatches.
