“…Crystalline Silicon (c-Si) panels have been prescribed due to their superior long-term efficiency and commercial availability (Battaglia et al, 2016) [7] . Monocrystalline (mono-Si) panels are the most efficient type of c-Si panels (Kahoul et al, 2021) [13] , but these tend to be more expensive than polycrystalline (poly-Si). Other key differences are the speed at which efficiency degrades over the years, and the amount of square footage needed on the location per MW p installed capacity, both of which are better for mono-Si (Arissetyadhi et al, 2020) [5] .…”

The constant increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the world degrades the ozone layer and jeopardize the future of the planet. In order to respond to this major challenge, governments and organism (example industries) are mobilizing to reduce the use of fossil energies and increase the use of renewable energies. Solar energy is free and inexhaustible. It is one of the main energies renewable. This paper discusses pros and cons about design, maintenance and performance monitoring and management on solar panel. Innovation in this field is also reviewed.

This study examines the performance of the MPPT Proteus model. The high performance of this model was proposed for a photovoltaic system and tested using the most commonly known MPPT techniques. The proposed Proteus model is a simulator of a maximum power point tracking system for a photovoltaic panel connected to the DC-DC converter with digital control. The Proteus software performs simulation and implementation of the photovoltaic panel model based on a one-diode model and a two-diode model with high accuracy. Both photovoltaic panel models were validated by experimental measurements. Simulation results for tracking voltage, tracking current and tracking power show that this model performs satisfactorily. The theoretical evaluation confirms the high performance of the MPPT Proteus model, which offers a high degree of control and planning.

“…A similar initial degradation rate to that produced with multicrystalline silicon [9] was found, indicating that the higher impurity of 99.9999% (6N) in the UMG-Si substrate does not affect the rate of aging. Moreover, the operating and weather conditions affect the degradation rate and can produce failures in PV modules [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

This article analyses and compares the influence of p-type Cz-Si solar cells produced with and without Al-BSF and silicon oxide passivation on the degradation of the electrical parameters of PV modules, after 77 months under operating conditions in a PV system. Solar cells were manufactured at a pilot plant-scale facility, and 32 PV modules with silicon oxide passivated emitter and Al-BSF solar cells were assembled. The other group was composed of 28 PV modules produced with n+pn+ solar cells. The I–V curves of the PV modules were measured under standard test conditions before and after 77 months of exposure. In both groups, the short-circuit current presented higher degradation, and the open-circuit voltage showed low reduction. However, the degradation of these electrical parameters was lower in PV modules assembled with a passivated emitter and Al-BSF solar cells. Consequently, the power degradation rate of PV modules with passivated emitter n+pp+ and n+pn+ solar cells was 0.29% and 0.66% per year, respectively. The milky pattern was observed at the edge of all solar cells and was related to titanium dioxide antireflective coating modification and laser isolation processing.
