Operation of TUT Solar PV Power Station Research Plant under Partial Shading Caused by Snow and Buildings

Figure 9

Monthly solar energy received at the TUT solar PV power station research plant during its first year of operation (August 2011 to July 2012): the blue bars on top graph correspond to the global solar energy received on the horizontal plane (measured by pyranometer CMP22), the green bars on top graph represent the diffuse solar energy on the horizontal plane (measured by pyranometer CMP21 combined with the shadow ring) and the red bars at the bottom graph correspond to the global solar energy received on the plane of modules (measured by the SPLite2 sensor S13).
