Indonesia has different weather factors than the subtropical climate that influences the performance indicators of photovoltaic systems. One of them is performance ratio that is affected by temperature factors. NREL proposes calculation method of Weather-Corrected Performance Ratio for correcting factors (temperature) in calculation performance ratio of photovoltaic systems. However, the implementation of this method in real operating condition of photovoltaic system especially in the tropics, has not received special attention. In addition, temperature coefficient of power photovoltaic (δ) in Standard Test Condition, is used in the calculation method may be different in real operating condition. This study was conducted to determine the effects of weather-corrected performance ratio method and to know characteristic of temperature coefficient of power photovoltaic (δ) as factors in of weather-corrected performance ratio method, in real operating condition especially in tropics. Through analysis photovoltaic system data from the data logger it is found that the range values of weather-corrected performance ratio are greater than conventional methods, with a maximum increase of 2.43%. Moreover it is found that because average temperature of tropical climate is higher than subtropical climate, it makes the percentage of power decrease to rise in temperature (δ) in tropical climate is higher than subtropical climate.
Key words: Photovoltaic system / Performance ratio / Weather-corrected performance ratio / Temperature coefficient of power photovoltaic (δ)
