This paper presents online tools for analyzing the daily performance of photovoltaic installations located in various regions of the world. Selected solar radiation models and online calculators are presented, enabling the determination of the performance of a given class of PV installation, taking into account the type of PV modules used, the season, and weather conditions. The usefulness of these tools was verified for a PV installation located in northern Poland and equipped with bifacial modules. The obtained calculation results are presented and discussed, and compared with measurement results.
