Summary
The objective/purpose of this research project is to develop and validate Energy Yield test standards for Photovoltaic Modules, assess the validity of the International Electrotechnical Commission 61853 Power and Energy Rating methodology, and provide significant contributions to the knowledge gap associated with Photovoltaic Power and Energy Yield data from real field conditions in the Canadian environment. The intent is to have a more accurate and representative power and energy rating to modules that can be applied to a range of environmental conditions, and utilized for improved energy yield predictions and integration of renewables back to the grid.

Program Purpose (French)
Ce projet a pour but d'élaborer et de valider des normes d'essai de rendement énergétique pour les modules photovoltaÓques, d'évaluer la validité de la méthode d'évaluation de la puissance et de l'énergie de la norme 61853 de la Commission électronique internationale et de faire des apports importants pour combler les lacunes associées aux données sur le rendement énergétique et la puissance des modules photovoltaÓques obtenues dans des conditions en milieu réel dans l'environnement canadien. L'intention est d'obtenir une évaluation plus exacte et plus représentative de la puissance et de l'énergie des modules pouvant être appliquée à diverses conditions ambiantes et utilisée pour améliorer les prévisions du rendement énergétique et la réintégration des énergies renouvelables au réseau.
