The Principal Solar Institute Module Ratings

The Principal Solar Institute’s scientifically designed and certified combination of tests and performance standards provide an unbiased, comprehensive rating system – the PSI PV module rating. Seven essential characteristics related to initial and long-term PV module performance are combined to create the PSI Rating:

• Actual Tested Maximum Power vs. Advertised
• Temperature Coefficient at Maximum Power
• Power at Low Irradiance to Power at High Irradiance Ratio
• Normal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT)
• Total Area Efficiency
• Negative Power Tolerance
• Annual Power Reduction

These ratings allow you to make comparisons when analyzing PV modules and help you select the optimal PV module.
