TESTING PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
According to the requirements of the laws in force, the result of the test depends on
settings about Temperature effects compensation and PRp calculations (see MASTER
instrument settings):

Previous relationship are valid if Irradiance > Min Irraddiance value (see user manual
of the MASTER instrument) and the Irradiance values are “steady”: if IP

The final OUTCOME can be:
Non-displayable: if the obtained values are inconsistent (e.g. PRp >1.15) or if
irradiation has never reached a steady value > minimum threshold set (see user’s
manual of MASTER instrument).
The maximum performance point (PRp) of the system
The highest performance (maximum value of PRp) is detected according with previous
relationships.
