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.

“…At the present time, grid-connected PV power plants studies are interesting and informative, but based on the recent experimental studies, which are available in the literature [27][28][29] and to the authors' knowledge, there is still a lack of detailed performance analysis about mc-Si and p-Si PV module with almost similar electrical and mechanical characteristics. This paper aims to fill this gap by comparing the experimental behavior of these two common PV module technologies (mc-Si and p-Si) with exactly the same efficiency and maximum power at standard test conditions, the same mechanical properties, and almost similar in other electrical properties which experience the same fluctuations of solar irradiance and weather conditions.…”

The ability of bifacial photovoltaic (PV) to absorb solar radiation on either side increases the energy output. Reflectors increase the albedo and help to increase the performance. Reflectors face discoloration and degradation with time and they increase the overall implementation cost of bifacial PV systems. However, the cost of reflectors can be reduced by using nonbiodegradable waste as reflectors. They also increase the reusability of nonbiodegradable waste materials and reduce their impact on the environment and the cost of reflectors. To make a comprehensive analysis, an investigative approach of energy, exergy, economic, exergoeconomic, enviroeconomic, and energy payback time (6E) analysis is conducted for the bifacial PV module with nonbiodegradable waste, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flex, polystyrene foam, and aluminum foil as reflectors in this study. The 6E analysis includes the analysis of energy, exergy, economic, exergoeconomic, enviroeconomic, and energy payback time factors. The analysis results indicate that the PVC flex as a reflector enhances the bifacial PV performance better compared to polystyrene foam and aluminum foil. The average power, average energy efficiency, and average exergy efficiency of bifacial PV with PVC flex reflector observed during the study are 224 W, 27%, and 31%, respectively. The use of nonbiodegradable waste also has a positive impact on the environment and economy.
