New simulation tool to measure angular losses in PV systems

Researchers in Spain reviewed six models used to calculate incidence angle modifier (IAM) losses in photovoltaic systems. They identified the Martín-Ruiz model as the most comprehensive, as it uniquely accounts for additional angular losses caused by soiling.Researchers at the Technical University of Madrid have conducted a comprehensive review of modeling tools used to measure the incidence angle modifier (IAM) - a factor describing how the optical efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules changes as the sun's rays deviate from a line perpendicular to the module surface. The team explained that ...
