Validation of the Optimal Performance Assessment Methodology for Photovoltaic Plants in the Context of EPC Contracts in Colombia
This study addresses the underperformance of photovoltaic solar plants in Colombia’s Engineering Construction & Procurement (EPC) contracts, identifying causes and proposing solutions. Simulations of operational and pre-operational plants revealed that performance expectations depend on the meteorological databases used, with significant differences between on-site measured data and satellite image-based data.

Comparison of Satellite Databases and Ground Measurements for Estimating Relevant Climatic Variables in Photovoltaic Production in Colombia
Photovoltaic energy production critically depends on the quality of solar resources, which are influenced by various meteorological variables such as global horizontal irradiance (GHI), ambient temperature, and relative humidity. However, obtaining precise historical ground data can be challenging, limiting informed decision-making with high reliability . Read more…
