Investigation of Outdoor Performance of Silicon Photovoltaic Modules at Different Installation Angles

Abstract

The objective of this master thesis is to analyse and compare the performance of two different PV technologies mounted at different tilt angles and orientations. The PV modules are installed on the roof of the J5 building in the University of Agder, located in Grimstad, Norway. The analysis was carried out by comparing 13 months of measured data (from March 2020 to March 2021).The technologies assessed are mono crystalline silicon and poly crystalline silicon, mounted at atilt angle of 10◦East/West, 45◦South and 90◦South.
