New algorithm reduces solar module temperature during clipping, curtailment

UNSW researchers have developed a thermal-aware tracking algorithm that reduces solar module temperatures and UV exposure during inverter clipping and curtailment, slowing degradation without lowering AC output. Tested in Chile's Atacama Desert, the strategy was found to lower module temperatures by up to 7.7?C.A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has developed a thermal-aware tracking algorithm to lower solar module temperatures during periods of clipping and curtailment. Inverter clipping occurs when a PV system's DC energy is larger than the maximum input size of ...
