Mr Jyotirmoy Roy
Jyotirmoy Roy is EPSRC funded Doctoral Researcher in Applied Photovoltaic Research Group at Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST), Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
His areas of interest are basically performance monitoring & prediction of solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules in real operating conditions under variable climate, data analysis, feasibility study, solar PV system design, project management. He is a working member of EU FP6 projects “IP-Performance”, validating a proposed testing standard (IEC 61853) for PV modules based on Energy Rating procedures.
He is also working as University Teacher at CREST and also as a Researcher for data analysis and monitoring the large scale industrial PV systems located in Europe and USA.
He worked before as an Academic Visitor at CREST and developed an experimental controlling system based on LabVIEW for performance monitoring of different modules in real operating conditions.
He has been selected for CSIR Diamond Jubilee Research Intern award at Central Fuel Research Institute , India.

Jyotirmoy obtained his first degree in Manufacturing Engineering from NIFFT, India and masters in Solar Energy Engineering from ESES, Sweden. He worked for Central Fuel Research Institute, Dhanbad, India under CSIR Diamond Jubilee Research Intern award scheme from December 2003 to June 2005. First time he joined CREST as an Academic Visitor in January 2005. Mr. Roy has started his own consultancy on renewable energy solution in 2006.
Areas of Research:
- Performance monitoring of PV devices in indoor & outdoor conditions.
- Characterisation of operating environment to draw the correlation between measurement and modelling accuracy. This is basically to develop and optimise an accurate methodology for Fast Energy Rating (kWh) for Photovoltaic Devices and Modules (FENRA) of different technologies, considering the influence of all relevant environmental factors that generally experienced in outdoor conditions.
- Validation of the proposed IEC 61853 energy rating Standard
Distance learning MSc solar module courses and hands-on activities on solar and wind energy applications.
