Monitoring of photovoltaic systems is required for the detection of operational issues, and to compare the performance of different systems across a range of technologies and climates. Performance and reliability data can therefore facilitate appropriate system design and technology choice, and in the long term, establish credible expectations about PV system performance.
The purpose of this guideline is to provide recommendations for monitoring and analysis of the performance and reliability of flat plate grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems in Australia.
This guideline was developed primarily with reference to the following documents, with adaptations for current and emerging needs and Australian conditions:
