Photovoltaic technology is a cornerstone of sustainable energy solutions, and understanding its operational efficiency is crucial. A recent study was conducted at a 1.1 MWp photovoltaic power plant in Ouad-Nechou, Ghardaïa city. The study compared four solar sub-fields, each tilted at 30°, using various photovoltaic technologies: thin-film (a-Si, CdTe) and crystalline silicon (mc-Si, pc-Si). Each 100 kWp sub-field was evaluated over four consecutive days to assess efficiency and effectiveness under uniform meteorological conditions. The amorphous silicon (a-Si) subfield was the most productive during the four measured days, reaching its peak spring production capacity of 99.98 kW on May 1st. Year-long performance evaluations of a-Si, CdTe, mc-Si, and pc-Si showed that the CdTe subfield exhibited the lowest output on September 29th, with 99.17 kW, while the a-Si subfield maintained higher production levels. The average power output was analyzed on January 1st, May 1st, July 1st, and October 1st, revealing that the amorphous technology outperformed the other technologies with a total production capacity of 47.03 kW. Additionally, the study included augmentation percentages to evaluate the performance of photovoltaic technology subfields. Accurate solar radiation data at a 30° tilt angle was analyzed using a rooftop radiometric station, with results favoring the accuracy of the PERRIN DE BRICHAMBAUT model over others, supported by statistical tests. This research provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of different photovoltaic technologies, highlighting the superior performance of amorphous silicon under varied seasonal meteorological conditions.

This study evaluates and compares the energy output of mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, under specific climatic conditions, with the help of advanced PVsyst software. This study aims to provide realizations into selecting the most effective PV technology by considering specific climatic and geographical conditions. In this study, monthly and yearly output energy, along with performance ratios, are evaluated for two conditions: firstly, for a 10.23KWp system, and subsequently, for a 58.2m² solar panel area. Both conditions demonstrate that mono-crystalline solar PV technology consistently outperforms poly-crystalline technology in terms of monthly and yearly output energy as well as performance ratio. Specifically, mono-crystalline panels generate 78 kWh more electricity annually in a 10.23 KWp system and 2469 kWh more in a system based on a specified PV module area. Additionally, they exhibit high-performance ratios in both scenarios. These findings strongly advocate for the preference of mono-crystalline technology within this region. Furthermore, the study offers valuable insights for addressing similar energy challenges in regions with comparable conditions, as far as solar panels energy outputs are affected by the climate conditions at most; so that for similar climate conditions in region would be effective. This research significantly contributes to facilitating well-informed decision-making processes, thereby augmenting energy accessibility.

“…Several research studies about the degradation of different PV module technologies have been carried out in Morocco. Elamim et al investigated the performance of various PV technologies in the region of Mohamadia, Morocco, for one year of outdoor exposure and reported that p‐Si technology is the most suited PV type in this region 31 . Abdellatif et al evaluated three different PV module technologies in Errachidia, Morocco, including monocrystalline silicon (m‐Si), polycrystalline silicon (p‐Si), and amorphous silicon (a‐Si).…”

Summary Long‐term energy production of photovoltaic (PV) systems is predicted and evaluated using a degradation rate analysis. It is one of the most important factors to consider before investing in PV power plants since it indicates the system's dependability and, hence, profitability. This paper examines the degradation rates of three different PV module technologies in a mountain/cold region, over a 5‐year period; including monocrystalline silicon (mono‐Si), polycrystalline silicon (poly‐Si), and amorphous silicon (a‐Si). This study has been performed using different statistical techniques such as classical and seasonal decomposition (CSD), seasonal and trend decomposition using loess (STL), Holt winters (HW), and linear regression (LR). According to the obtained results, a‐Si modules have the highest degradation rate with values varying between 1.12 and 1.17%/year, followed by mono‐Si (0.69–0.98%/year) and poly‐Si (0.11–0.75%/year) technology respectively. This research included an economic analysis to determine the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of the three investigated systems. The findings show that crystalline technologies (poly‐Si and mono‐Si) are more cost‐effective than a‐Si, with an LCOE of 0.099 USD/kWh, 0.108 USD/kWh, and 0.138 USD/KWh respectively.
