Photon Solar Panel Test Results 2016

The test measures the electricity output of a solar panel exposed to real world conditions within a 12 month period.

Photon solar panel test results 2016.

It has been almost seven months since i updated the data of my solar panel test results. Sunkalp energy has taken the latest results from 2015 and picked out the multicrystalline solar panels which are most commonly available for mw projects in india. In 2015 a total of 173 different solar panels from vendors of international repute with large enough facilities were tested. Performance ratio 1.

The photon laboratory began measuring the yield of solar modules already in 2004. The measurements have been paused in 2016 and 2017 but are to be resumed in 2018. Leading international solar trade magazine photon conducted the photon field performance test to help consumers sort the wheat from the chaff by publishing the actual results gathered during the testing. It is the most important variable for evaluating the efficiency of a solar panel therefore this test is a great way to see if a solar panel will live up to expectations.

We ve had a fairly hot january and february in 2016 so the panels temperature co efficient is put under pressure. Photon laboratory has tested solar modules and solar inverters since 2009. Since we are about to add a new line up of solar panels it thought it was time to update the test results. In the field of solar module measurement it has carried out more than 6 000 measurements.

Photon laboratory is focused primarily on performing yield measurements under standard test conditions stc evaluating weak light behavior and determining temperature coefficients.
