A method for evaluating the influence of wiring on the performance of components in a photovoltaic system design

► Interconnection wiring can influence the performance of a photovoltaic system. ► A method was developed for calculating the influences of the wiring in the DC interconnections in a photovoltaic system. ► This method was used in a simulator and shown to provide better estimates than alternative and common approaches. ► This method can be used in other systems level analysis tools to increase the accuracy and detail of performance predictions.
