Spectral impact on PV in low-latitude sites: The case of southeastern Brazil

The spectral impact on various PV materials –amorphous silicon (a-Si), CdTe, CIGS, single crystalline silicon (sc-Si) and multi crystalline (mc-Si)– in two nearby cities of Southeastern Brazil is presented. For every PV technology studied, the values of the spectral mismatch factor on instantaneous,...
