This paper defines “Solar Deviation” for a distributed solar PV system as the standard deviation of the (aggregated) differences between the observed amounts of power generated by the system at five minute intervals throughout a given day and the expected amounts of power generated by the system.
Two new metrics, Solar Volatility and Solar Deviation, are introduced to quantify the variability of PV output compared with expected output. These metrics are applied to the time series power data from over 1000 systems each around Los Angeles and Newark.
One of the reasons contributing to the decline in solar PV performance is the aging issue. This study comprehensively examines the effects and difficulties associated with aging and degradation in solar PV applications.
The degradation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the key factors to address in order to reduce the cost of the electricity produced by increasing the operational lifetime of PV systems. To reduce the degradation, it is imperative to know the degradation and failure phenomena.
The degradation of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules is caused by a number of factors that have an impact on their effectiveness, performance, and lifetime. One of the reasons contributing to the decline in solar PV performance is the aging issue.
Solar photovoltaic is reckoned to be one of the promising methods to generate electricity; however, it has a lower conversion value due to various losses resulting from external and internal parameters. Among various losses that occurred in the solar photovoltaic system, mismatch loss is imperative, which causes the system to perform poorly.

The solar energy incident on the Earth''s surface during an hour is almost equal to the one-year total consumption on Earth. When the solar radiation penetrates the atmosphere, a significant amount of its energy is lost due to the fact that Sun radiation is absorbed by solid particles and droplets in the atmosphere and reflected by water vapour and air molecules.
