Left:

Path of the Sun over a year. Terrain horizon (drawn by grey filling) and module horizon (blue filling) may have
shading effect on solar radiation. Black dots show True Solar Time. Blue labels show Local Clock Time.

Right:

Change of the day length and solar zenith angle during a year. The local day length (time when the Sun is above the
horizon) is shorter compared to the astronomical day length, if obstructed by higher terrain horizon.

Total system performance

Energy conversion steps and losses:

1. Initial production at Standard Test Conditions (STC) is assumed,
2. Reduction of global in-plane irradiation due to obstruction of terrain horizon and PV modules,
3. Proportion of global irradiation that is reflected by surface of PV modules (typically glass),
4. Losses in PV modules due to conversion of solar radiation to DC electricity; deviation of module efficiency from STC,
5. DC losses: this step assumes integrated effect of mismatch between PV modules, heat losses in interconnections and cables, losses
due to dirt, snow, icing and soiling, and self-shading of PV modules,
6. This step considers euro efficiency to approximate average losses in the inverter,
7. Losses in AC section and transformer (where applicable) depend on the system architecture,
8. Availability parameter assumes losses due to downtime caused by maintenance or failures.
Losses at steps 2 to 4 are numerically modeled by pvPlanner. Losses at steps 5 to 8 are to be assessed by auser. The simulation
models have inherent uncertainties that are not discussed in this report. Read more about simulation methods and related uncertainties
to evaluate possible risks at http://solargis.info/doc/pvplanner/.

9. Solargis - description of the database

Solargis is high-resolution climate database operated by Solargis s.r.o. Primary data layers include solar radiation, air temperature and
terrain (elevation, horizon).
Air temperature at 2 m: developed from the CFSR data ( NOAA NCEP, USA); years: 1994 - 2011; recalculated to 15-minute values.
The data are spatially enhanced to 1 km resolution to reflect variability induced by high resolution terrain.
Solar radiation: calculated from the satellite and atmospheric data:
- Meteosat PRIME satellite ( EUMETSAT, Germany) 1994 - 2010, 15-minute or 30-minute values for Europe, Africa and Middle East,
- Meteosat IODC satellite ( EUMETSAT, Germany) 1999 - 2011, 30-minute values for Asia,
- GOES EAST satellite ( NOAA, USA) 1999 - 2014, 30-minute, partially 3-hourly values for Americas,
- MTSAT satellite ( JMA, Japan) 2007 - 2014, 30-minute values for Pacific,
- MACC-II ( ECMWF, UK) 2003 - 2014, atmospheric data,
- GFS, CFSR ( NOAA, USA), 1994 - 2014, atmospheric data.
This estimation assumes year having 365 days. Occasional deviations in calculations may occur as a result of mathematical rounding
and cannot be considered as a defect of algorithms. More information about the applied data, algorithms and uncertainty can be found
at: http://solargis.info/doc/pvplanner/.

11. Mode of use

This report shows solar power estimation in the start-up phase of a PV system. The estimates are accurate enough for small and
medium-size PV systems. For suntracking simulations, only theoretical options are shown without considering backtracking and shading.
For large projects planning and financing, more information is needed:
1. Statistical distribution and uncertainty of solar radiation
2. Detailed specification of a PV system
3. Interannual variability and P90 uncertainty of PV production
4. Lifetime energy production considering performance degradation of PV components.
More information about full PV yield assessment can be found at: http://solargis.info/doc/8.

12. Disclaimer and legal information

Considering the nature of climate fluctuations, interannual and long-term changes, as well as the uncertainty of measurements and
calculations, Solargis s.r.o. cannot take full guarantee of the accuracy of estimates. The maximum possible has been done for the
assessment of climate conditions based on the best available data, software and knowledge. Solargis s.r.o. shall not be liable for any
direct, incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages arising or alleged to have arisen out of use of the provided report.
