Abstract

New ribbon designs to minimize shading losses are evaluated and compared. With a simulation methodology considering interaction of optics from cells, modules and systems in realistic conditions, the angular responses of modules and annual yield enhancements with these designs are estimated. It is shown that the annual yield cannot be easily estimated from STC measurements and an incident angle multiplier coefficient is proposed for correction.
