Description

Hourly energy density (1 m2) generation profiles for Insolight hybrid Si/III-V planar micro-tracking modules installed in Madrid (40.5°N, -3.75°E), synthetically generated using CPVLIB library (based on PVLIB Python) and ERA5 typical meteorological year. Performance model parameters were empirically fitted using several outdoor monitoring campaigns and indoor characterization at the collimated-light solar simulator available at IES-UPM.

Location: 40.5°N, -3.75°E

Format: CSV (separator: semicolon); headers in first row.

Parameters (ordered from first column): 

  • Time: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS+TimeZoneOffset
  • Latitude: latitude of the installation in °N
  • Longitude: longitude of the installation in °E
  • Wind speed [m/s]: average wind speed
  • Tair [°C]: average ambient temperature
  • precipitable_water [mm]: average precipitable water in the atmosphere
  • GHI [Wh/m2]: global horizontal irradiation
  • DHI [Wh/m2]: diffuse horizontal irradiation
  • DNI [Wh/m2]: direct (beam) normal irradiation
  • CPV submodule [kWh/m2]: energy generated per m2 by the III-V CPV submodule
  • Flat-plate submodule [kWh/m2]: energy generated per m2 by the Si flat-plate submodule
  • Hybrid [kWh/m2]: energy generated per m2 by the whole Insolight hybrid module
