| Resumo: | This study presents the spectral impact on the performance of different photovoltaic (PV) technologies in Lima, Peru. We experimentally monitored the spectral distributions over one year (March 2019–February 2020). The average photon energy (APE) was used as a representative parameter to evaluate the spectral distributions. The spectral mismatch factor (MM) enabled an estimation of the spectral gains of distinct PV technologies: amorphous silicon (a-Si), perovskite, cadmium telluride (CdTe), multi-crystalline silicon (multi-Si), monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), and copper indium gallium selenide with two distinct band gaps (CIGS-1 and CIGS-2). The annual APE is 1.923 eV, indicating a spectrum shifted to shorter wavelengths. Larger-bandgap PV technologies such as a-Si, perovskite, and CdTe resulted in annual spectral gains of +6.8%, +4.8%, and +2.1%, respectively, while lower-bandgap PV technologies showed slight losses. A quasi-linear correlation was observed between APE and MM for PV technologies. |
