“…For the three days, it is clear that the efficiencies of the modules and the systems vary inversely with respect to temperature fluctuation for the modules c-si and p-si, in contrast, for the a-si the temperature variation has practically no effect on the module and system efficiency. In the rainy day there is a disconnection of the p-si inverter, which means that there is no sufficient DC power to generate the AC power, this is in good agreement with the results reported in Dabou [5]. Figure 10 shows the variation of the efficiencies of the inverters corresponding to each technology.…”

“…Dabou, presented a study on the effects of climatic conditions on the performance of the grid connected photovoltaic system. The results show that these performances are affected on a cloudy and sandy day due to successive and rapid change of clouds and exposure to sand which affect the generated energy and stability of the photovoltaic system [5], while there are no studies that include experimental results on PV performance in the Casablanca region and the interaction of these PV with the environment in this region, this paper presents an experimental study with a critical analysis of different PV modules based on silicon for 3 days under variable climatic conditions (clear, cloudy and rainy), the experimental analysis was carried out in order to evaluate the real performance of the selected technologies under real conditions in Casablanca.…”

“…The results showed that the PV plant performance depended on both insolation and environmental conditions. Dabou et al [19] presented the effect of weather conditions on the performance of a 1.75 kW p grid-connected PV system installed in southern Algeria. The final yield, reference yield, performance ratio, and system efficiency were discussed.…”

The objective of this paper is to establish the performance of 8 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power systems based on different PV module technologies in Nanjing, China. Nanjing has a hot summer and a cold winter which are considered based on monthly average solar irradiation and ambient temperature specifically for the deployment of grid-connected PV systems. The study focuses on performance assessment of grid-connected PV systems using typical PV modules made of monocrystalline silicon (m-Si), polycrystalline silicon (p-Si), edge-defined film-fed growth silicon (EFG-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film, copper indium selenide (CIS) thin film, heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT), and hydrogenated amorphous silicon single-junction (a-Si:H single-PV) installed on location. The yearly average energy output, PV module and system efficiency, array yield, final yield, reference yield, performance ratio, monthly average array capture losses, and system losses of seven PV module technologies are all analyzed. The results show that grid-connected PV power system performance depends on geographical location, PV module types, and climate conditions such as solar radiation and ambient temperature. In addition, based on energy output and efficiency, the HIT PV power technology can be considered as the best option and CdTe and p-Si as the least suitable options for this area. The monthly average performance ratio of the CdTe technology was higher than those of other technologies over the monitoring period in Nanjing.

“…Besides efficiency of PV, modules depend on the operating temperature and the power density of the solar radiation as well as environmental conditions and seasons of the year [15,21]. If the PV module's temperature increases, the efficiency shall decrease linearly, at STC conditions [22]. The inverter DC input voltage is 1000 V and MPPT voltage range is 450 V-820 V; therefore, 20 modules per string shall be the best option.…”

The installation of 3 × 50 MW (150 MW DC) large utility scale solar power plant is ground based using ventilated polycrystalline module technology with fixed tilt angle of 28°in a 750-acre land, and the site is located about 115 km northeast of Karachi, Pakistan, near the town of ThanoBula Khan, Nooriabad, Sindh. This plant will be connected to the utility distribution system through a national grid of 220 kV outgoing double-loop transmission line. The 3 × 50 MW solar PV will be one of the largest tied grid-connected power projects as the site is receiving a rich average solar radiation of 158.7 kW/h/m 2 /month and an annual average temperature of about of 27°C. The analysis highlights the preliminary design of the case project such as feasibility study and PV solar design aspects and is based on a simulation study of energy yield assessment which has all been illustrated. The annual energy production and energy yield assessment values of the plant are computed using the PVSYST software. The assumptions and results of energy losses, annual performance ratio (PR) 74.73%, annual capacity factor 17.7%, and annual energy production of the plant at 232,518 MWh/year are recorded accordingly. Bear in mind that reference recorded data indicates a good agreement over the performance of the proposed PV power plant.
