Photovoltaics and its Potential Application in the Production of Electricity

Abstract

In presented paper authors summarize potential of various options for the application of photovoltaic systems. On this continues other part which is focused on the influence of slope and orientation to the production of electricity by photovoltaic panels. It includes the example of electricity production at an existing system in year 2014. The last part of the paper examine the influence of surface contamination on photovoltaic panels and their effectiveness. At the end of the presented paper is summarized findings of the authors.

Thermoelectric cooling in combination with photovoltaics and thermal energy storage

“…The value was measured in our another research focused on verification of the effectiveness of photovoltaic panels and their economic return. [22,23] The real power output is a little bit lower than expected consumption of the technology. However, the real power output during the sunny day is higher than maximum power input of the thermoelectric coolers.…”

Effect of cloudiness on the production of electricity by photovoltaic panels

“…Maximum efficiency were reached ηmax = 93.5 % with the optimal measuring conditions (stable temperature conditions, nominal DC voltage and medium values of AC power). The rest of the converted energy is lost by the electrical conversion in the form of heat [7], [8].…”
