Abstract The photovoltaic (PV) system performance essentially depends on the modules response to five effects: spectral, reflection, temperature, irradiance, and nominal power variations. Providing a full characterization of behavior in terms impact these effects real operating conditions is very important both compare different PV technologies choose best technology for specific site, position, installation feature. In this work, systematic approach used. A theoretical model calculate ratio related each effect proposed. used explain annual two technologies: multicrystalline silicon module (mc‐Si) double junction amorphous (a‐Si/DJ). basic features are observed.
