Abstract

Indian climate is broadly divided into 4 climatic zones, Hot & dry, Hot & humid, Composite and cold & Cloudy. Most of the area comes under composite climate [1]. Further the performance of SPV power plants depends on the site, PV Module technology and load wise inverters/power converters efficiency. So with the change of the technology and site, weighted efficiency of the inverter also varies. This paper coins the new efficiency term as Indian© efficiency based on irradiation distribution similar as European and Californian efficiency which is suitable to Indian climatic condition. To showing technology and site dependency the study also compares the Indian© weighted efficiency of a sample inverter with weighted efficiency using the generation energy weighted factors of a-si, multi-si, HIT and CdTe technology module. It is found that same inverter performs best with CdTe Modules in the composite climate zone of India.
