  • Abstract
    The power output of two solar arrays with same configuration and same type of solar modules is not equal due to module mismatch and array wiring. In addition, differences in ambience can create difficulty in side-by-side comparison tests. This paper illustrates and describes two experiments performed in the Xandex Solar Lab and demonstrates how normalization was performed using two arrays with the same system size.
