“…The PVPS Task 2 provided suitable information on the operational performance, reliability, and costs of PV systems to various stakeholders. In addition, over the previous years, several groups of researchers conducted a performance evaluation of small and utility-scale PV projects [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. The performance of PV projects are essentially analyzed in terms of a) capacity utilization factor, b) specific energy generation, c) performance ratio, d) efficiency of the PV system, and e) levelized cost of electricity.…”

“…The experimental results at a temperature of 41.1 °C showed that the system had an efficiency of 13.5%. In 2007, Cherfa et al [22] evaluated the performance of a grid-connected 9.540 kWp capacity of monocrystalline roof-mounted PV panels (Fig. 16) and reported an annual energy output of 11872 kWh with efficiency of 12% in Algeria.…”

Saudi Arabia has embarked on diversification of its existing energy portfolio through rene wables, mainly solar photovoltaic and thermal, and wind power. This study presents an overview of how different areas around the world utilized building-integrated solar photovoltaic applications to recommend appropriate and suitable options for implementation in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East region. With this objective, the power utility will have three-fold benefits (i) clean and economic power arability for off-grid remotely located dwellings, (ii) cutting down the emissions of greenhouse gases, and (iii) conserving the fixed reserves of fossil fuels, which are being used mainly for power production around the world. The study shows that building-integrated applications are most common in Asian and European countries. Moreover, it is observed that monocrystalline and polycrystalline photovoltaic materials are both technologically and economically suitable for such applications.

“…In the second part of this section 5, we will focus on the PV performance comparison of the Northern Africa countries. The mono-crystalline silicone (mc-Si) technology performs better in Adrar [23] (Saharan Southern Algeria) than in Algier [24] and Batna [25] (Northern, Algeria). This is correlated to the higher average daily in plane of irradiance in Adrar of 6.22 kWh/m2/day, compared to the irradiation rate of 4.83 kWh/m2/day in Algiers and 5.21 kWh/m2/day in Batna.…”

“…However, Africa and more specially its northern part has witnessed a widespread deployment of grid-connected solar photovoltaic systems in the last decade. Several studies[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]have focused on the performance analysis of PV solar plants in Northern Africa. Moreover, Bennouna et al[73] reported performances of three silicon-based PV module technologies in 20 sites of Morocco.…”

This paper presents preliminary operational performance results of a pilot grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system designed and installed on the rooftop of the Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mining headquarter in Nouakchott (latitude of 18.1°N and the longitude of 16.0°W), Mauritania. The aim is for the government to demonstrate the relevance of using solar energy and to encourage the uptake of solar PV technology for commercial and residential building applications in Mauritania.. In this study, the grid-connected PV system has a peak power of 48 kW and the performance monitoring was carried out during one year, with a system that allow to measure DC power, inverter and system conversion efficiency, energy generated by the PV arrays, solar radiation in the inclination plane of panels, ambient temperature and module temperature. During this period, the PV plant was found to supply 65,668 kWh to the grid. The final yield ranged from 3.91 to 5.09 kWh/kWp/day. The performance ratio was found to vary from 69.69% to 89.35% and the annual capacity factor was found to be 19%. Finally, performance parameters were compared with other PV plants installed in the same region of Northern Africa. The outcome of this work is deemed important in assisting accurate PV system design and decision-making.
