Photovoltaic Module Current-Voltage and Electroluminescence Image Data (PV-IV-EL)

This dataset consists of 616 pairs of corresponding current-voltage trace (IV) flash test data and electroluminescence (EL) image data for commercial PV modules from the Photovoltaic Systems Evaluation Laboratory at Sandia National Laboratories. PV modules are from fielded systems in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Measurements of corresponding IV and EL data were taken over a 6 year period, with modules removed from the field and measured in the laboratory at 0 to 5 years of outdoor exposure. The 438 unique modules comprise 28 unique module models from 17 different brands, which are anonymized in the metadata. Additional metadata include current-voltage and electroluminescence acquisition parameters, and length of outdoor exposure.
