Comparison of the Models of Solar PV Performance Calculations for Ankara – Middle Anatolia

Abstract

In a techno-economic analysis, to reach truthful feasibilities, accurate performance calculations of PV systems are a must. There are many models/calculation schemes to estimate PV module performances. In this study, we compare the estimation of three software (PV*Sol, PVSyst, HelioScope) using a whole year field data obtained in Ankara, for five module types (Mono-Si, Poly-Si, µc-Si/a-Si, CIS, and HIT). Our analysis showed that the calculation schemes of the performances should be carefully evaluated and used as they contain quite many located dependent empirical parameters, and distinctions in the fabricated modules. The comparisons showed that the estimation accuracies of the software are reasonable, yet software Helioscope performs better than the others for weather conditions of Ankara, Middle Anatolia.
