“…The station data were collected and processed as a part of the ESRA and published as monthly averages of daily irradiation sums [9,13,16,19,[22][23][24]. PVGIS as a solar radiation database has advantages over other similar databases as an open data and software PV estimation tool with an excellent geographical grid resolution (1 km × 1 km) and map based user-friendly interface, providing easy-understandable information for PV geographical assessments.…”

In this paper basic information of Homer software for PV system electricity generation, NASA - Surface meteorology and solar energy database, RETScreen, PVGIS and HMIRS (Hydrometeorological Institute of Republic of Serbia) solar databases are given. The comparison of the monthly average values for daily solar radiation per square meter received by the horizontal surface taken from NASA, RETScreen, PVGIS and HMIRS solar databases for three locations in Serbia (Belgrade, Negotin and Zlatibor) is given. It was found that the annual average values of daily solar radiation taken from RETScreen solar database are the closest to the annual average values of daily solar radiation taken from HMIRS solar database for Belgrade, Negotin and Zlatibor. Monthly and total for year values of electricity production of fixed on-grid PV system of 1 kW with optimal inclinated and south oriented solar modules, in Belgrade, Negotin and Zlatibor using HOMER software simulation based on data for daily solar radiation taken from NASA, RETScreen, PVGIS and HMIRS databases are calculated. The relative deviation of electricity production of fixed on-grid PV system of 1 kW using HOMER software simulation based on data for daily solar radiation taken from NASA, RETScreen, and PVGIS databases compared to electricity production of fixed on-grid PV system of 1 kW using HOMER software simulation based on data for daily solar radiation taken from HMIRS databases in Belgrade, Negotin and Zlatibor are given.

“…For the territory of Serbia PVGIS-CMSAF gives up to 5% higher values for the solar irradiation data [13,22]. The PVGIS-3 data set is based on measurements made on the ground in the period 1981-1990 which are then interpolated between points to get radiation values at any point.…”

“…Although the global economic recession has reduced the demand for energy currently, energy generation from renewable resources is still necessary for the environment and for the economy in the long term. Solar energy, one of the best renewable energy sources with the least negative impacts on the environment, is becoming a promising renewable energy source [2].…”

“…The input parameters included panel efficiency, temperature coefficient, shading losses, ground cover ratio and latitude, and the input data included hourly solar radiation, wind speed and temperature. Pavlovic et al [2] studied the possibilities of generating electrical energy from on-grid PV solar systems of 1 kW in the Republic of Srpska, and the factors considered included yearly average values of the optimal panel inclination, solar irradiation on the horizontal, vertical and optimally-inclined plane, the ratio of diffuse to global solar irradiation, Linke turbidity, average daytime temperature and 24-h average temperature. Besarati et al [7] assessed the potential of harnessing solar radiation in different regions of Iran by generating solar radiation maps for different surface tracking modes, and the result can be used for designing PV and CSP power plants.…”

An Integrated Decision-Making Model for the Location of a PV Solar Plant

Due to the increasing demand for electricity, the depletion of fossil fuels and the increase in environmental consciousness, generating power from renewable energy resources has become necessary. How to select the most appropriate site is a critical and foremost decision that must be made when setting up a renewable energy plant. This research proposes a two-stage framework for evaluating the suitability of renewable energy plant site alternatives. In the first stage, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is adopted to set the assurance region (AR) of the quantitative factors, and the AR is incorporated into data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess the efficiencies of plant site candidates. A few sites are selected for further analysis. In the second stage, experts are invited to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of the selected sites, and FAHP is used to calculate the priorities of these sites. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, because of its abundance, inexhaustibility, safety and cleanliness. Based on the proposed integrated decision-making model, a case study for selecting the most appropriate photovoltaic (PV) solar plant site is examined. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 13523

“…Pavlovic et al compared the total electricity produced from mono-crystalline silicon, cadmium telluride (CdTe) and CIS solar panels of 1 kW capacity PV power plant for 1 year in the climatic conditions of the Republic of Srpska (Pavlovic et al 2013). The performance of four different solar modules made of mono-crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon and CdS/CdTe technologies under the environmental conditions of Mexico City was compared and results showed a better performance for amorphous silicon technology (Santana-Rodŕiguez et al 2013).…”

Performance of nine commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) panels from different manufacturers with combination of different manufacturing materials and technologies are studied under the environmental conditions of the Coal City of India. The results give an indication of the comparative performance of different PV technologies under the aforesaid location's environmental condition which helps to choose the best suitable PV technology for the Coal City of India. This procedure is commonly known as technical mapping of solar PV. Performance of PV panels made of Maxeon Cell Technology, heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT), mono-crystalline silicon (Mono C-Si), poly-crystalline silicon (Poly C-Si), Micromorph, SCHOTT, amorphous silicon (a-Si), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) technologies is analysed. Meteorological and PV panel parameters required for the study are collected from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) renewable energy resource website (Surface Meteorology and Solar Energy) and the data sheets of commercial PV panel manufacturers, respectively. The outcome of this study concludes that modules made of amorphous silicon technology perform better under the typical temperature variant and dry environmental condition of the Coal City of India. The same PV technology is also best suited considering life cycle assessment and global warming impact point of view for the concerned site.
