If so, in a step 810, a more precise estimate of in-plane solar radiation can be generated based on the mean horizontal total solar radiation Gh if available in the data, using Perez's model. This provides an absolute peak radiation measurement independent of the electrical response of the array.

- a range of configurations can be simulated in this step in order to obtain information with which we can test hypotheses concerning the state of the PV array, and estimate for example the loss of performance due to integration into the building.
- step 902 for example, a simulation is carried out on the basis of a reference PV system, and in particular of a PV system of the same type as that of the panel. solar panel or group of solar panels, but without taking into account the integration of the solar panel or group of solar panels in a building.
- the simulation provides for example an estimate of the average matrix temperature of the solar panel or the group of solar panels and the DC power produced by the solar panel or the group of solar panels.
- this simulation is based on the generalized solar collector model, for example as defined by the preceding Math 7 through Math 20 equations, and uses the measured environmental conditions as inputs.

For example, this involves a GSC simulation arranged to describe a thermal coupling to a roof or a facade, with an air gap, as shown in figure 3. Multiple simulations can be performed, by adapting input variables. and parameters to estimate uncertainties and consider different assumptions, eg degradation induced by aging, reduced air flow rates, high ambient temperatures, etc. This will now be described in more detail with reference to a step 904, which is shown in more detail in FIG. 10.

If so, in a step 1102, temperature prediction errors and heating correlations are for example calculated. A heating correlation is defined as the difference between PV temperature and ambient temperature, normalized by incident solar radiation. Then, in a step 1103, any temperature divergence is for example marked in the indicator Pdc: Pbipv. The report is set at different constant values depending on whether a significant overestimation or underestimation is observed, or a temperature divergence combined with a bad DS value is observed.
- step 1104 is performed, involving determining whether sub-array data is available. , allowing to perform a sub-matrix analysis. If so, in a step 1105, the presence of any heterogeneity between the sub-matrices of the solar panel or of the group of solar panels is for example marked. For example, heterogeneity is detected based on a calculation of the variance between measurements, such as power measurements generated by strings of PV cells or modules in the array.

- An overestimation of the power generated implies that the actual data indicates a power significantly lower than that estimated / predicted, for example the data being less than the estimate by 5 percent or more.
- Class 6 is for example assigned to an energy recovery period when the CI data indicates a sunny period, the DS data indicates an underestimation or an overestimation of the power generated, and the performance ratio is low, indicating poor performance in sunny conditions.
- Class 7 is for example assigned to an energy recovery period when the CI data indicates a sunny period, the DS data indicates an agreement or practically an agreement between the estimated power and the effective power, and the ratio of performance is medium to high, indicating that the system is working well in sunny conditions.
- An agreement or nearly an agreement between the estimated power and the effective power corresponds, for example, to data lying within a limit of 5% with respect to the estimate.
- Class 8 is for example assigned to an energy recovery period when the CI data indicates a cloudy period, the DS data indicates an agreement or almost an agreement between the estimated power and the effective power, and the ratio of performance is medium to high, indicating that the system is functioning well in cloudy conditions.
