Results
change of PV-module parameters can be detected on site, lengthy interruption of exposure period due to yearly shipment for
re-measurement can be omitted
modular design and wireless data transfer enables the measurement in remote areas
on-site measurement allows to detect soiling effects throughout the year
to collect all degradation parameters re-measurement at the end of the measurement campaign should still be conducted
