E4C | Phovotovoltaic and meteorological measurements on the UPF Campus at Tahiti

This file combines meteorological and photovotlaic measurements taken on the Campus of Univerté de la Polynesie Française (PVCAM) in the context of the PVCAM project (Photovoltaic Characterisation and Modelling). The project aims at caracterising and modelling the PV performance of PV modules of different technologies. There are 24 modules with an average tilt angle of 19° facing North. They are from 6 different manufacturers and of 3 different technologies: Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TopCon), Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer (HIT), and Interdigitated back contact (IBC). Plane of array (POA) irradiance (frontface and backface) are available as well as PV module temperature for each type of module.
The PVCAM experimental platform was installed in the University of French Polynesia (17.6ºS, 149.6ºW) located in Tahiti between April 6th – May 6th of 2024 as part of the Photovoltaic Characterization and Modelling (PVCAM) project. PVCAM is an initiative of the Interdisciplinary Center Energy4Climate (E4C) and the University of French Polynesia (UPF). It is co-financed between École Polytechnique through the Chaire DTER supported by Total Energies, and UPF.
