Within the IEA (International Energy Agency) PVPS (Photovoltaic Power System) Programme Task 15, 'Enabling Framework for the Acceleration of BIPV,' a round-robin action focusing on the performance of vertical BIPV elements as a facade in different climatic environments was performed. The performance of identical (both, in construction and bill of materials (BOM)) glass-to-glass c-Si BIPV elements was monitored at seven outdoor test sites in 6 different countries in Europe and Asia. In this work, the comprehensive results of the electrical and corresponding meteorological data will be presented and discussed. The monitored data were merged, processed, and filtered for further analysis. The analysis includes the chracteristics of the module temperatures and the in-plane irradiation at the outdoor test locations, mean daily PR per test module, time series of mean daily performance ratio coefficients, and monthly yield.
