Energy prediction of Amonix solar power plants

Amonix has installed over 300 kW of systems using III-V multijunction cells. The Amonix 7500 Solar Power Generator, rated at 38 kWAC, generated over 90 MW-hr during its first twelve months of operation. A model of system performance using a meteorological database and applying the effects of losses in the optical and power paths predicted field performance to within 1% after twelve months of operation. The energy yield of power plants employing Amonix systems is expected to exceed 2700 kW-hr/kW. Systems installed in 2010 are expected to deliver a 10% increase in performance.
