NOCT Performance comparison by OST Energy/PV Evolution Labs NOCT is an international standard measurement of the solar panel's ability to perform in temperatures that more closely resembles the field conditions PV arrays generally operate in, thus providing a perspective on “real world” module operation.
NOCT Fill Factor Comparison Validated by Ost Energy / PV Evolution Labs The ratio of actual rated maximum power Pm to the theoretical (not actually obtainable) maximum power (Isc x Voc ). This is a key parameter in evaluating the performance of solar panels. A higher fill factor solar panel has less losses due to the series and parallel resistances within the cells themselves.
Temperature Coefficient Comparison Validated by Ost Energy / PV Evolution Labs A PV module's current versus voltage is primarily affected by temperature. The relationship between module voltage and temperature is actually an inverse one. As the module’s temperature increases, the voltage value decreases and vice versa. Temperature Coefficient at Maximum Power describes the decreasing power output (energy losses) with increasing temperature.
