Abstract/Summary:

---

The choice of components with photovoltaic systems, and solar modules and inverters in particular, has a crucial influence on the system's performance and energy production. The systematic analysis of remote monitoring measurement data can contribute to analysing and evaluating the components under real conditions. The comparison of European and Asian PV module manufacturers shows that no significant quality differences can be identified – the manufacturer-specific classification provides a comparable performance profile of the modules of individual manufacturers.
