EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PARAMETERS AFFECTING EFFICIENCY IN PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
Abstract
Today, the search for green energy to meet the never-ending demand for energy, rather than depleting conventional resources, is still ongoing. However, the steady increase in the contribution of solar energy to electricity generation over the last three decades has put solar energy on the agenda as a viable option. However, the power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is low due to low conversion efficiency. Therefore, some critical analyses need to be carried out on the factors that improve the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. The output power generated by a photovoltaic panel depends on many factors. Some of these factors are type of photovoltaic material, intensity of received solar radiation, panel temperature, clouds and other shading effects, inverter efficiency, dust pollution factor, panel orientation and tilt angle, weather conditions, geographical location, cable thickness. In the article, solar radiation, shading and tilt angle factors, which significantly affect the performance of photovoltaic systems, will be experimentally investigated.
