Colored PV module efficiency is undervalued
In a current discussion with pv magazine Roland Valckenborg, service developer as well as project supervisor at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), has actually explained the outcomes of a multi-year screening program for tinted BIPV components. Simply a couple of years earlier, it was assumed that power return could be approximately 50% less than traditional panels, however examinations have actually revealed a distinction of simply 10%. Valckenborg claims that losses can differ depending upon the shade of a panel.
