研究目的
Investigating the outdoor performance of GaAs, monocrystalline Si, and multicrystalline Si PV modules in simulated automotive environments to inform the selection and design of PV modules for car-roof-integrated mounting.
研究成果
GaAs modules exhibited lower operating temperatures and smaller temperature coefficients compared to Si modules, resulting in higher performance ratios even at ambient temperatures below 25°C. This makes GaAs modules particularly suitable for high-temperature automotive applications. The study provides valuable data for selecting PV modules for car-roof-integrated mounting.
研究不足
The study focused on a specific simulated automotive environment and may not fully represent all real-world conditions. The data presented were collected over a limited time frame, and the effects of spectral changes on module performance were not fully accounted for.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Modules were tested in a configuration designed to simulate car-roof-integrated mounting. The study focused on measuring module temperatures and electrical performance under standard test conditions (STC).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
GaAs, monocrystalline Si, and multicrystalline Si modules were selected based on their datasheet values and expected performance in high-temperature environments.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Modules were monitored using an MT5 multi-tracer by Daystar, Inc., with thermocouples for temperature measurement and a thermopile and Si reference cell for irradiance measurement.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Modules were deployed at the University of California Merced Castle Test Facility. Data were collected every ten minutes, with modules biased at their maximum power points in between.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed to determine STC performance, temperature coefficients, and instantaneous performance ratio (IPR), with only clear sky data used for STC assessment.
