[ES]La presente Tesis Doctoral pretende lograr una compresión superior del modelado del comportamiento eléctrico en exterior de módulos fotovoltaicos de capa delgada. Para ello los trabajos se han enfocado en caracterizar un enclave desde un punto de vista espectral y se ha conseguido evaluar la influencia que ejerce la distribución espectral de irradiancia incidente y la temperatura de módulo sobre el factor de rendimiento de estos módulos. Conjuntamente, se ha cuantificado la influencia que los efectos espectrales ejercen sobre diferentes tecnologías fotovoltaicas de capa delgada para distintas ventanas temporales, obteniendo que estos efectos se atenúan a medida que el periodo temporal evaluado se hace mayor, llegando éstos a hacerse despreciables para todas las tecnologías evaluadas en periodos anuales. Finalmente, se ha propuesto la utilización de métodos analíticos sencillos para estimar la potencia máxima y la energía anual generada por este tipo de tecnologías fotovoltaicas, alcanzando resultados satisfactorios en cuanto a la validación de dichos métodos para climas soleados y de interior, no tropicales.

[EN]The present PhD thesis deepens into modelling outdoor electrical performance on thin film photovoltaic modules, in order to improve the understanding that already exists about the state of the art in this field. One of the research lines was focused on the spectral characterisation of the incident irradiation of the site. Additionally, the impact of the spectrum shape and the temperature of the module over its performance ratio was evaluated for each tested thin film photovoltaic technology. Then, spectral effects were assessed and quantified for the four thin film technologies under study in terms of different timeframes. Thus, it was concluded that the spectral effects are mitigated during long integration periods. Indeed, the annual spectral effects may be neglected for the four considered photovoltaic technologies in tempered and sunny inland climates in practical terms. Last, simple analytical methods are proposed and statistically validated in order to estimate the electrical outdoor performance -maximum power delivered and annual energy produced- of thin film photovoltaic modules in locations with a nontropical, tempered and inland climate, with relevant and sound results.
