Note sur le comparatif de programmes de simulation PV de PHOTON

André Mermoud - Université de Genève, juin 2011

Le laboratoire PHOTON a analysé et testé environ 20 logiciels disponibles sur le marché pour étudier le rendement de systèmes PV. Cette analyse a été publiée dans plusieurs éditions de PHOTON Magazine (Allemand et Espagnol d’avril 2011, Italien et Français de mai 2011).

Pour l’évaluation et la prévision du rendement de chaque programme, PHOTON a utilisé des données de 3 installations PV monitorées. Mais nous avons constaté que les données de référence d’irradiance n’ont pas été bien mesurées, en conséquence, les conclusions de PHOTON peuvent être remises en question.
