In Germany, state-of-the-art PV systems reach PR(si) values around 90%
Note the difference of some 3…4% between PR(si) and PR(pyr)
In southern Europe, PR will be reduced by 3…5%

Conclusions…
PV power plant operation is well understood and reproducible
Today’s systems may reach PR(si) values around 90% in Central Europe
Mono- and polycrystalline silicon systems show small degradation rates, by
default, Fraunhofer ISE assumes –0.25% per year
Long term success starts with a comprehensive system testing
Only professional O&M concepts ensure high performance and yields
