Abstract
Solar cells are aggregated in series and parallel combinations into an array to produce desired voltage and power levels. The solar cells are non-identical in their parameters; therefore the array power output is lower than the power output of the individual cells operating separately. The quality of the array is reduced as a result of larger dispersions in the cell parameters. Therefore, measures of the array quality are important for the design and analysis of photovoltaic systems. In this study, three quality factors are defined and derived analytically for the array: the array matching factor AMF, the relative power loss RPL and the array curve fill factor CCF a.
