Outdoor monitoring data of an Insolight B-series module - CPV sub-module

Dataset from the outdoor characterization of a B Series module from Insolight at the rooftop of the Instituto de Energía Solar - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. It was the basis of its power rating at CSTC and has informed several scientific and technical articles like the oral presentation by Gaël Nardin et al. "Towards Industrialization of Planar Microtracking Photovoltaic Panels" at the 15th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV-15), held between 25 and 27 March of 2019 in Fes, Morocco. 

Monitoring campaign:

• Location: 40.453°N, -3.727°E. Instituto de Energía Solar, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. 28040 Madrid, Spain.
• Starting date: 21 November 2018
• End date: 14 December 2018
