在挪威格里姆斯塔德镇，三种不同的商用光伏模块在户外受到监测。本文介绍了实验装置，实施，特别是低成本的电子负载的细节。结果将测量的性能与制造商的数据进行比较，并且温度测量能够与标准测试条件温度下的性能进行比较。总的来说，单晶组件在最大效率和总能量生产方面表现最好，而基于三结非晶硅技术的组件在考虑这些标准时表现最差。与全年的测量结果相对应的能源产量的总数表明，光伏技术在挪威这样的北方国家也可能成为一种可行的替代方案。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Three different, commercially available photovoltaic modules have been monitored outdoors in the town of Grimstad, Norway. The present paper describes the experimental setup that was implemented, in particular details of the low-cost electronic loads. Results compare measured performance with manufacturer's data, and temperature measurements enable a comparison with performance at standard test condition temperature. Overall, the monocrystalline module performed best both regarding maximum efficiency and overall energy production, whereas the module based on triple junction amorphous silicon technology had the worst performance considering these criteria. The gross numbers of energy yield corresponding to measurements over a whole year show that photovoltaic technology could become a viable alternative also in a Northern country like Norway.
