Blind photovoltaic modeling intercomparison: A multidimensional data analysis and lessons learned
In this blind photovoltaic modeling intercomparison, most software and models exhibited similar results indicating good reproducibility among participants, especially when compared with the 2010 PVPMC intercomparison. For example, the spread in estimated annual energy yield among PVsyst participants is now ~6% compared with ~33% in 2010.

Robust Performance Loss Rate Calculation for Photovoltaic Systems in High Latitude Locations
This work studies the best methods for performance loss rate (PLR) calculation in high latitude locations, characterized by strong seasonal variability. As the different methods can drastically affect the PLR value, an ensemble method consisting of multiple approaches was validated to be essential in identifying robust PLRs.
