Description: This dataset features time-series performance data of photovoltaic systems installed in the state of Florida through various projects and other initiatives, like the SunSmart Schools program led by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) of the University of Central Florida (UCF). This data, along with data collected using other characterization techniques, is being used by FSEC, UCF, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Tau Science, and BrightSpot Automation to link observed performance degradation in photovoltaic modules to specific loss mechanisms (i.e., optical, recombination, resistive) and, ultimately, to root causes (i.e., changes in chemistry and/or microstructure). This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Solar Energy Technologies Office Award Number DE-EE0009347, DE-EE0008157, and DE-EE0008152.
