  • Abstract
    The paper presents a first study of the impact of meteorological parameters on outdoor performance of DSC. A DSC cell has been tested in real operating conditions while located in the University of Rome Tor Vergata ESTER outdoor facility, where global, direct, diffuse and reflected solar radiation, air and cell temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity are continuously monitored.
