“…Conversion efficiency to electrical energy is between 8% and 20%. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] As the panel temperature increases, the voltage decreases and the current increases slightly, so the photovoltaic (PV) panel power output decreases. Panel manufacturers indicate in the datasheet that each PV panel can achieve the ideal efficiency at normal operating cell temperature (NOCT).The cell temperature (T NOCT ) measured at 20 C ambient temperature, 0.8 kW/m 2 radiation and 1 m/s wind speed conditions is approximately 45 C. 17 Each 1 C temperature increase which will occur at cell temperature above ideal operating temperature decreases electrical efficiency by about 0.40% and 0.65%.…”

The aim of this study is to show the investigation effects of environmental and operating factors on photovoltaic (PV) panel efficiency using by multivariate linear regression. Also in this study, the relationship between PV panel efficiency and some environmental and operating factors (solar radiation, opencircuit voltage, short circuit current (I sc), power, fill factor, outside temperature, humidity, wind speed, and voltage) were investigated using multivariate linear regression. The effect of binary parameter interactions on panel performance was investigated using the backward elimination (or deletion) method. The data used in the analysis were obtained from monocrystal and polycrystal panels in December in the winter season. In all analyzes, the regression values are close to 1, which indicates that the compatibility between binary parameters and performance characteristics is perfect. In addition, the three most effective parameters on panel efficiency were found to be solar radiation, maximum power (P max), and I sc , respectively.

“…Due to the reasons mentioned above, there is a growing tendency in the PV community to analyze and predict the performance of PV systems under real operating conditions which includes various technologies, climate regions and orientations [12,17,18], while other studies focused on the harvesting energy of tandem solar cells [13,19]. The major disadvantage of those experimental studies is that they are usually set up under fixed orientations and the operation needs to take place over a long time, followed by a massive quantity of measurements.…”

Calculating the Energy Yield of Si-Based Solar Cells for Belgium and Vietnam Regions at Arbitrary Tilt and Orientation under Actual Weather Conditions

Predicting actual energy harvesting of a photovoltaic (PV) installation as per site-specific conditions is essential, from the customer’s point of view, to choose suitable PV technologies as well as orientations, since most PVs usually have been designed and evaluated under standard illumination. Hence, the tendency lives in the PV community to evaluate the performance on the energy yield and not purely on the efficiency. The major drawback is that weather conditions play an important role, and recording solar spectra in different orientations is an expensive and time-consuming business. We, therefore, present a model to calculate the daily, monthly and annual energy yield of Si-based PV installations included in commercial panels as well as tandem solar cells. This methodology will be used to evaluate the benefit of potential new technologies for domestic and building integrated applications. The first advantage of such a numerical model is that the orientation of solar panels and their properties can be easily varied without extra experiments. The second advantage is that this method can be transferred to other locations since it is based on a minimum of input parameters. In this paper, the energy yield of PV installations for different regions in Belgium and Vietnam will be calculated.

The energy rating standard series IEC 61 853 parts 1–4 provide a procedure to calculate the performance of a photovoltaic (PV) module for six different reference climates. The results, denoted as climate specific energy rating (CSER), aim to predict the module's energy output for a complete year under maximum power point operation. The reference climate profiles shall represent the typical operating conditions of a PV module in a given region. Our study investigates the representativeness of these reference climates profiles for several locations in South and Central Europe. We gathered both ground‐ and satellite‐based data sets from different weather monitoring stations. Using such data for our specific location in Freiburg, Germany, and a specific reference module, we found deviations ranging from 2.0% to 2.9% compared to the CSER using the temperate continental profile. Further, we analyze the annual impact of the loss factors: reflectivity as function of angle of incidence, solar spectrum, ambient temperature, and irradiance on module performance. For an in‐depth PV module benchmarking, we recommend the use of site‐specific meteorological data for an accurate module performance assessment, rather than relying on the more general estimates from the standard procedure, which do not intend to capture site‐specific effects.
