Abstract

The authors regret that in the originally published version of this article due to a plotting error incorrect results were presented in Fig. 5 and the accompanying texts. We have erroneously stated in the text to Fig. 5 that the input parameters with the highest sensitivity to the module temperature are the emissivity at ground level, the sky temperature and the absorption of the solar cell. After correcting Fig. 5 (see below), the highest sensitivity of the module temperature is found to ambient temperature and irradiance. The corrected Fig. 5 is shown below. [Figure presented] Fig. 5: Absolute change of modelled cell temperature with variation of individual input parameters for three different environmental conditions. Furthermore, we have erroneously stated in Table 4 that the emissivity of the sky has a strong influence on the module temperature. In the corrected version, the module temperature shows a low sensitivity to the sky emissivity, hence we consider this input parameter as a less significant source for uncertainties. Apart from the corrections to Figure 5 and Table 4, the calculation of the sources of uncertainty do not affect other results in the publication. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Show more
