Since most of our business is in the LA basin, we don't often have to
consider optimizing a PV system design in high temperature regions. We are
looking at a fairly big (100-200 kW) commercial ground mount in the El
Centro / Calexico area (ZIP 92231). The avg high in July is 107 deg F with
record highs in the 122 deg F range. Record low is 18 deg F.
I have some anecdotal information that thin film modules (e.g. First Solar)
provide the greatest bang for the buck kWh/yr/P, where P=installed cost per
kW. Are their any independent studies out there to support this?
