Abstract
Metal halide perovskite photovoltaic modules deployed outdoors and held at their maximum power point show daily, reversible, relative changes of up to 30% in efficiency between morning and afternoon. Predicting energy yield and quantifying reliability will require properly handling such daily performance changes.
