Abstract :
Sandia National Laboratories is forming the PV Performance Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC). This effort is aimed at improving confidence in PV performance model predictions by bringing traceability and transparency to the modeling process and encouraging third party validation of existing algorithms. Activities currently being pursued in this collaborative include: (1) developing a website (http://pvpmc.org), (2) developing a Matlab™ PV Performance Modeling Toolbox (PV_LIB), and (3) sponsoring periodic PV performance modeling workshops and events. Contributions are welcomed from stakeholders in PV or related industries.
