Outdoor Deployment Data for a Four-Terminal GaAs//Si Tandem Solar Mini-Module

Metadata Updated: April 4, 2026

This dataset contains the complete outdoor measurement and analysis data for a mechanically stacked, four-terminal (4T) gallium arsenide (GaAs)//silicon (Si) tandem solar mini-module deployed from October 2019 to January 2021 at the Solar Radiation Research Laboratory (SRRL) in Golden, Colorado, USA. The data support a performance modeling and degradation analysis framework for tandem photovoltaic devices, as described in the accompanying publication. The dataset includes: (1) current–voltage (J–V) characteristics of each sub-cell measured approximately every five minutes, with extracted performance parameters; (2) spectral irradiance from an EKO MS-710 WISER spectroradiometer, along with derived spectral mismatch ratios (SMR) and average photon energy (APE); (3) one-minute resolution meteorological data from the co-located SRRL weather station and GPS-derived precipitable water vapor (PWV); (4) pre-deployment laboratory characterization (external quantum efficiency, J–V curves, standard test conditions parameters); (5) outdoor-extracted temperature and PWV correction coefficients; and (6) PVcircuit equivalent-circuit simulation outputs used for model validation. Degradation rates of −4.1 ± 0.2 %/year (GaAs) and −2.5 ± 0.9 %/year (Si) were determined using a filtering and normalization methodology adapted for fixed-tilt tandem modules. All data are provided in open, portable formats (Apache Parquet, CSV, JSON) to enable full reproducibility of the published analysis.
