The other category of issues is thermal: As a first explanation for observed reduced \r\nenergy yields, it has been assumed that the conversion efficiency degrades at higher operating temperatures. This \r\nmatter has been investigated in this article: A change in conversion efficiency could not be observed for elevated \r\noperation temperatures up to 50°C, despite high-precision and repeated measurements. But it was found that some \r\ninverters temporarily interrupted (or entirely stopped) operation after long periods of running at high temperatures. \r\nAlso, a reduction in potential maximum power output has been detected for those inverters. Summarizing: With a \r\nhigh degree of certainty it can be stated that those reported yield losses have been caused by the temporary shutdowns \r\nand power limitations of the inverters.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","file_date_updated":"2022-01-06T12:27:02Z","conference":{"name":"EU PVSEC 2020, 37th EU Photovoltaik Solar Energy Conference","location":"online","start_date":"2020-09-07","end_date":"2020-09-11"},"year":"2020","page":"1179 - 1180","type":"conference","ddc":["620"],"_id":"18387","doi":"10.4229/EUPVSEC20202020-4AV.3.6"}
