Table 5 shows the modelling methods evaluated and applied in this work and the groups developing and operating them. The methods are characterised by their determination of either the real operating efficiency � or power P of a module at various environmental conditions. They are therefore easily comparable since one term can be easily transformed to the other by applying the following equation P= �·A·G (A indicates module area, G describes the incident irradiance). The main differences between the methods are the ways to handle the input data, the execution of the single steps and the fit equations used. The first round robin has been concentrating on the energy prediction of single PV modules. It was based on sets of monitoring data (1-10 minute resolution) of different module technologies (cSi, aSi, CIS, CdTe) measured at different sites by various European test-laboratories (ZSW-DE, INES-FR, ISAAC-CH, CREST-UK, ECN-NL, Solarlab-PL, Helsinki-FL).

The blind round-robin proved that on an annual basis the agreement for all energy prediction methods and all technologies is within ±5% (±3% for c-Si), provided that the environmental parameters incident irradiance and the module temperature are well described. This good accuracy was also found when translating the energy yield measured at one location in Europe to another for an identical module utilising shorter time periods (months). Significantly higher errors were found when using different PV modules of the same manufacturer and technology to predict the energy yield at other sites. Here the variation in module power rating dominated the results of the energy prediction methods and a correction for these differences had to be applied. All energy prediction methods showed similar results, which does not allow for any preferred selection at this stage. The use of Isc instead of the irradiance measured by a pyranometer further reduced the annual error prediction accuracy, due to a significant improvement for the winter months (see Figure 5). It will be therefore important within the next round robins to validate the existing approaches to model the effective irradiance. The second RR, currently under preparation, will concentrate on the validation of spectral and reflection loss models and some first system data will be analysed. 4. PV as a Building Product (SP6) ISAAC participates at the sub-project SP6 as external work partner. The aim of the sub-project is to stimulate the development of PV systems as certified building products for roofs and facades, the assessment of standards and performance requirements for BIPV modules towards mechanical stability, electrical safety, fire safety and building functionality, to reinforce the harmonisation of PV products and to enhance significantly the application of PV in buildings. One of the two SP6 meetings organised in 2007 was held in Lugano at the ISAAC institute. 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 workpackage dealing with the development of tests for novel BIPV technologies. The institute has a good collaboration with flexible a-Si manufacturers and some experience with hail tests on waterproof PV membranes. 5. ISAAC Publications [1] W. Herrmann, S. Mau, F. Fabero, T.
