Database of Photovoltaic Module Performance Parameters


A Microsoft Access database of PV module performance parameters has been developed and is continuously updated on this site. This database contains performance and physical data as specified by manufacturers, plus other measured parameters required to implement the module performance model developed by Sandia National Laboratories and documented elsewhere. The database can be used directly by the IVTracer program which implements the Sandia performance model providing current-voltage (I-V) characteristics for commercial photovoltaic modules at user selected operating conditions. The IV Tracer software is commercially available from the following website: http://www.mauisolarsoftware.com.

The database was constructed with Access 97 SR 2 (a/k/a Access 8.0).
Sandia has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of values in the database but cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Sandia neither endorses nor certifies systems or products.
