Herein, the feasibility of a grid‐connected photovoltaic (PV) power generation system with five tracking models in Hefei is evaluated comprehensively. The comprehensive evaluation of grid‐connected PV power generation system mainly includes three aspects: technology, economy, and environment. The results show that the performance ratio of grid‐connected PV system with dual‐axis tracking device is the highest among the five kinds of PV systems with a value of 81.2%, while the performance ratio of grid‐connected PV system without tracking device is the lowest with a value of 77.3%. The grid‐connected PV system with dual‐axis tracking device is economically attractive, so users can be encouraged to purchase and install such systems to meet their electrical energy needs in Hefei. Furthermore, the grid‐connected PV system with dual‐axis tracking device is the most environmentally friendly and contributes to carbon emission reduction. Finally, it is concluded that the adoption of dual‐axis tracking grid‐connected PV power generation system in Hefei area is very attractive, and can provide a certain reference for the local promotion and use of such grid‐connected PV power generation system.

“…Furthermore, Kichou et al's research indicated that the impact of pollution on the optical and electrical degradation of PV modules strongly depends on the technology utilized [11], [12], [13]. A recent study highlighted that the average yield degradation rates are 1.19 %, 1.17 %, and 1.67 % per year for polycrystalline, monocrystalline, and thin-film cadmium chloride, respectively [14]. Numerous experts have cited dust accumulation on PV panel glass as a primary concern [15].…”

Comparative Performance Analysis of PV Module Positions in a Solar PV Array Under Partial Shading Conditions

et al. 2023

The irradiation intensity is the primary catalyst for energy production in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Nevertheless, it alleviates partial shading (PS) by inhibiting power production, primarily in habitable metropolitan areas, owing to surrounding objects or high soiling rates, particularly in dry and semi-arid climates. Hence, the PV module's location, orientation, and tilt angle significantly affect its performance and shorten its durability. Thus, this study undertakes a benchmark analysis of the two distinct panel positions' performance using PSIM and MATLAB software simulations and an actual practical test. A visual inspection of a solar power plant in Morocco's Green Energy Park is the origin of the survey concept; it observes that the soil density consistently covers certain PV panel spots. In this context, the solar energy data of an intelligent home deployed in the earlier-mentioned research platform has been deployed to emulate the performance of future buildings challenged with various obstacles. Therefore, the roof-mounted PV system satisfied the home's energy demands. In the first scenario, the PV module is in portrait mode. In the second case, they are in landscape orientation. The findings of this investigation demonstrate that standard PV panels produce more power when arranged in a landscape configuration than in a portrait configuration, exhibiting a discrepancy of up to 1010 Wh for a modest PV system. Finally, this study suggests appropriate orientation and design recommendations for standard and advanced solar modules, mainly those deployed in arid and heavily populated urban regions featuring severe shading constraints.
