Inspection Data Collection Tool for Field Testing of Photovoltaic Modules in the Atacama Desert

Inspection Data Collection Tool for Field Testing of Photovoltaic Modules in the Atacama Desert

The Atacama Desert receives the highest levels of solar irradiance in the world with an annual average of 2500 kWh/m<sup>2</sup> for the global horizontal irradiance and 3500 kWh/m<sup>2</sup> for the direct normal irradiance. One of the challenges is the large portion of ult...
