• ϒ = Power temperature coefcient of the module [%/°C] (this coefcient is usually negative)

The tests can be carried out after successful commissioning and shall last a rolling 10 Days duration accounting for
the with the following criteria:

• at least five (5) days with irradiance (G) measured on the plane of the array greater than 600 W/m² for 3
contiguous hours

• for at least five (5) days, the daily total irradiation on the plane of the array exceeds 4.0 kWh/m² (these days
may be the same as those indicated in the previous point).

• In the event that the five days are not reached with the required irradiation levels, the measurement period
will be extended until the irradiation criteria are achieved.

• Availability of the PV Plant and the grid shall be 100%. In the event of unavailability, the testing period will be
extended accordingly by the relevant number of days.

• The sampling interval Δts is constant and not larger than 15 min.
