Evaluation of the Production probability forecast
The probability distribution of the system production forecast for different years is mainly dependent
on the meteo data used for the simulation, and depends on the following choices:
Meteo data source Meteonorm 7.1 (1981-2010), Sat=100%
Meteo data Kind Monthly averages Synthetic Multi-year average
Specified Deviation Climate change 0.0 %
Year-to-year variability Variance 2.5 %
The probability distribution variance is also depending on some system parameters uncertainties
Specified Deviation PV module modelling/parameters 2.0 %
Inverter efficiency uncertainty 0.5 %
Soiling and mismatch uncertainties 1.0 %
Degradation uncertainty 1.0 %
Global variability (meteo + system) Variance 3.5 % (quadratic sum)
