Performance Analysis of a Grid-Connected Upgraded Metallurgical Grade Silicon Photovoltaic System

Because of their low cost, photovoltaic (PV) cells made from upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG-Si) are a promising alternative to conventional solar grade silicon-based PV cells. This study investigates the outdoor performance of a 1.26 kW grid-connected UMG-Si PV system over five years, rep...
