PV manufacturers rate the power output of their PV modules at standard test conditions (STC), which are a radiation of 1 kW/m2, a cell temperature of 25°C, and no wind. Standard test conditions do not reflect typical operating conditions because full-sun cell temperatures tend to be much higher than 25°C.
