Deviation in the Performance of Solar Module Under Climatic Parameter as Ambient Temperature and Wind Velocity in Composite Climate

Abstract

An effort has been made to develop an equation with the given data for different seasons of particular location called Lucknow, India consisting of composite climate, which is helpful in developing a relation of efficiency of photovoltaic modules with the major climatic parameters like temperature, wind velocity; further this equation developed mathematically is in good correlation with the measured data. Here data are shown for a whole year from 2010-2011 considering daily monthly average values of the variables (efficiency with temperature and wind velocity). Here performance of module gives a broad view of impact of climatic variables and helps us to find out the efficiency of modules while knowing the climatic parameters of a particular area.

Keywords

• Ambient (atmospheric) temperature, wind velocity, regression analysis, efficiency of solar photovoltaic module.
