Junction temperature is assumed to be uniform across solar plant. There is a significant reduction in the solar plant maximum output power.See more on mathworks nrel.gov[PDF]
A Detailed Performance Model for Photovoltaic Systems
The proposed model can be applied for PV arrays of any size and is suitable for application in simulation programs such as EMTDC/PSCAD and Mat-Lab/Simulink. A series of experiments were performed outdoors
