STC STANDARD IN DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE OF SOLAR PANELS IN PHOTOVOLTAICS

Abstract

This article provides detailed information about the STC (Standard Test Conditions) standard used to evaluate the efficiency of photovoltaic modules. STC is a standard developed to determine the ideal performance of solar panels under laboratory conditions. The authors discuss the content of STC parameters, their relevance in real-life conditions, comparisons with other testing conditions, and practical factors that lead to a decrease in solar panel output. The article explains the technical criteria necessary for purchasing and effectively designing solar panels.
