“…In Tables 1 and 2 we observed that the clear day is characterized by an intense solar irradiation and a mean temperature close to the standard condition temperature (STC) which influences the performances of the photovoltaic module. The results show that the efficiency of the module and that of the system are maximal in the cloudy day for the three technologies due to the low temperature and the high wind speed which affects the module temperature [18].…”

“…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 global solar energy, ambient temperature, wind speed and generated electrical energy were the 2-year monitored parameters. Furthermore, Edalati et al 22 compared the performance of mono-and poly-crystalline silicon PV modules used in a real 11.04 kWp grid-connected PV system in dry climatic condition for a period of one year. Results obtained from comparing data between m-Si and p-Si PV module technologies with the same efficiency and maximum power shown that p-Si modules produce more electricity than m-Si modules, especially in higher ambient and module temperatures.…”

The performance analysis and evaluation of a real grid-connected photovoltaic system operating under mild continental climate condition of Kosovo is conducted in this paper. The PV system is installed on a flat roof of the laboratory building at Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. With fixed monocrystalline silicon (m-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) module types with an installed capacity of 1.76 kWp and 2.16 kWp respectively, inclined at an angle of 45 • C, facing south and through two solar inverters, the latter feds the low voltage distribution grid with electricity. Performance and meteorological data for each type of modules were collected and analyzed for the period between December 2014 to November 2015. The m-Si PV modules have shown higher performance compared with p-Si PV modules. Electricity production during the monitoring period was 1286.57 kWh/kWp from p-Si modules and 1328.21 kWh/kWp from m-Si modules. The annually average daily final yield (Y f ), the annual average value of performance ratio (PR) and system efficiency (η sys ), for the p-Si PV modules were found to be 3.53 kWh/kWp/day, 80% and 11.67% respectively. In addition, corresponding values for the m-Si modules were 3.64 kWh/kWp/day, 84% and 12.78% respectively. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the performance of the photovoltaic system under study with other photovoltaic systems installed in various countries worldwide was carefully investigated and presented in this paper.
