In this paper, we present energy yield limits for five solar cell technologies, including Si, CdTe, GaAs, and perovskites. Furthermore, we derive an empirical relation that allows a straightforward approximation of energy yield from lab-measured efficiencies for any solar cell material. The relation also enables a fair comparison between solar cells …

1. Introduction Module temperature is an important factor that influences the power produced by a photovoltaic system (Ye et al., 2013, Lobera and Valkealahti, 2013).Typically, a crystalline silicon module loses about 4% of its power output for every 10 C raise in module temperature. C raise in module temperature.
