Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The paper deals with extensive monitoring of photovoltaic technologies. It was carried out in the last 18 months at the outdoor development center HEnergia of HERA S.p.A. in Forlì (Italy). HEnergia has 8 different photovoltaic plants of small size (under 3 kWp) and they are differentiated by photovoltaic cell technologies (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer, polycrystalline, cadmium telluride, amorphous silicon with microcrystalline silicon, silicon triple-junction cells, multi-junction Gallium Arsenide cells), by solar tracking systems (fixed installation, mono-axis or dual-axis tracker) and by optic devices (no concentration device, concentration through Fresnel lens or Cassegrain optic). Photovoltaic plants are remotely monitored and data on environmental conditions, module temperature and power production are continuously acquired and stored by a PC. Photovoltaic plant performance can thus be measured on-site and compared in relation to different environmental conditions. Moreover, the impact of maintenance activities (as for example the cleaning of photovoltaic modules) on photovoltaic plant performance is also assessed. On the basis of experimental data, the paper also shows an economic assessment of photovoltaic plants.
