The longer the period, the more accurate is the energy prediction. The winter months generally lead to higher errors than the other months. The disadvantage of this approach is the time required for a characterisation, reason for which the short term measurement approaches were here investigated. 3.4 Energy prediction with indoor data From the most accurate methods, the indoor approach has been selected for a final energy prediction inter-comparison between modules of different technologies (sc-Si, mc-Si, HIP, back-contact cells, CdTe, single junction a-Si and triple junc- tion a-Si). The indoor approach has the advantage of being the most reproducible and of being independent from weather conditions. The energy of the 14 different module types, 2 modules of each, were predicted by combining (1) the indoor measured power matrix of the reference module, (2) the outdoor determined NOST value (see Table I), and (3) the annual meteo matrix measured at Lugano. Since the stabilised power of the reference modules and the modules to be predicted are not the same due to different durations of outdoor exposure, the calculated kWh has to be corrected for this. The grey columns in Figure 3 show the original error and the blue the error after a proportional correction.

3.5 Energy Rating comparison services In 2007, four Energy Rating comparison in field were performed for third-parties. Some of them including: � Initial I-V measurement at STC; � exposure at Voc for first degradation (20kWh/m2); � second I-V at STC for reference; � exposure at MPPT for an insolation ranging from 100kWh/m2 to 400kW/m2; � final I-V measurement at STC. 3.6 MPPT3000 development During 2007 collaborations with 6 institutes (either Universities and manufactures) have been achieved for the installation of systems equipped with MPPT3K testing devices which were developed by ISAAC-TISO. The communications software "MPP3K Manager" has been improved. The firmware of the DSP has also been improved; an auto-range and new indicators of setup were added. 3.7 BIPV The introduction of photovoltaic plants into the building environment requires a sensitivity and nontechnical knowledge which installers often lack. Although BIPV (Building Integrated PV) makes up only a small part of the overall PV market, it is becoming increasingly important for the eventual acceptance of PV. The photovoltaic module is no longer a building accessory which disfigures, but it is becoming a building element which has a role in the creation of the entire envelope of a building. In the case of BiPV integration, due consideration at the beginning of a project will permit better integration from aesthetic, energetic and economic points of view. The architect must therefore have the knowledge and the tools to promote photovoltaic integration in a building. He must be aware of the possibilities, the obligations, the advantages and the disadvantages. In order to help them a new homepage dedicated to BIPV was created. 4 Evaluation 2007 Figure 7: Information homepage on BIPV for architect (www.bipv.ch). ISAAC-TISO participates also as external work partner at the subproject SP6 of the PERFORMANCE project in 6 th European Framework programme. The rule of ISAAC in this sub-project is to provide input on present regulations and building codes in Switzerland and to participate actively in the work-package dealing with the development of tests for novel BIPV technologies. � In April 2007 the seventh quality audit, for the ISO17025 accreditation maintenance of the sun simulator, supervised by the Swiss Accreditation Service, was successfully passed. � A total of 342 indoor I-V measurement were performed for third-parties. � In addition for several modules other measurements were executed: 22 determination of the temperature coefficients; 21 I-V characterization at different irradiances (200, 400, 600 and 800 W/m²); 47 outdoor initial degradation (20-40 kWh/m²); I-V determination with multiflash method; Visual inspection and insulation test according to IEC 61215; Electrical continuity test; By-pass diode test.

3.4 Energy prediction with indoor data<br />

From the most accurate methods, the indoor approach has been selected for a final energy prediction<br />

inter-comparison between modules of different technologies (sc-Si, mc-Si, HIP, back-contact cells,<br />

CdTe, single junction a-Si and triple junc-<br />

tion a-Si). The indoor approach has the<br />

advantage of being the most reproducible<br />

and of being independent from weather<br />

conditions.<br />

The energy of the 14 different module<br />

types, 2 modules of each, were predicted<br />

by combining (1) the indoor measured<br />

power matrix of the reference module, (2)<br />

the outdoor determined NOST value (see<br />

Table I), and (3) the annual meteo matrix<br />

measured at Lugano. Since the stabilised<br />

power of the reference modules and the<br />

modules to be predicted are not the<br />

same due to different durations of outdoor<br />

exposure, the calculated kWh has to<br />

be corrected for this. The grey columns in<br />

Figure 3 show the original error and the<br />

blue the error after a proportional correction.<br />
