Abstract
In the literature, the effect of the mismatch due to manufacturing tolerances on PV plant productivity has been investigated under the hypothesis of plant operation in Standard Test Conditions (STC). In this paper, mismatch impacts are evaluated in more realistic terms taking into account various possible operating conditions. Results are illustrated through the study case of a 1MWp solar park for which module datasheets as well as flash test data are available. The plant production is evaluated assuming operating conditions that comply with the European efficiency standards. It is shown how the effect of a given mismatch on the annual productivity estimation can significantly change depending on the operating conditions.
