Hi everyone
I would like to use the aging tool to model 35 years of generation based on Canadian Solar bifacial monocrystalline panel (CS6.2-66TB-H).
Could you please recommend a value for "Av. degradation factor" for such panels?
Does the default value for "Imp RMS dispersion" and "Vmp RMS dispersion" assume any panel replacement during the 35-year project lifetime? My company used string inverter monitoring and drone scan to spot defective panels and replace them. Heavily degraded panels might be moved to the same array and replace by new panels at some point in time. Over the project lifetime, we estimate that up to 25% of the initial panels will be replaced. This strategy shall mitigate mismatch losses to some extent. How can I take this into account in the "Imp RMS dispersion" and "Vmp RMS dispersion" values?
Thank you
Best regards
Simon
