The PV array rated capacity and electricity generation of the plant depend on the number of modules. This study considers the number of modules as an input factor for evaluating the impact of electricity generation per module (i.e., quality of the module) on the power generation efficiency.
The parameters that indicate the performance of a power generation system include actual amount of generated power and conversion efficiency. The conversion efficiency of commercial solar panels ranges from 10% to 20%. Minimizing the loss when converting the solar panel output to AC leads to higher efficiency of the entire power generation system.
Sueyoshi and Goto compare the efficiency of solar power plants in the U.S. and Germany. While the U.S. has an advantage in terms of solar and land resources, Germany is shown to be superior in terms of actual power generation efficiency. Some of the input and output factors in these studies are variable.
Understanding solar panel efficiency and the various factors that affect it is crucial in the selection and performance evaluation of solar panels. Using appropriate measurement techniques and monitoring procedures can help achieve maximum energy production and improve the overall efficiency of solar panels.
Additionally, to improve the power generation efficiency of running PV power plants, upgrading the quality of operations and service level of maintenance activities, such as cutting of the woods that shade the PV modules, cleaning the surface of the PV modules, and inspecting the generation systems to prevent accidents and downtime, are necessary.
Sunlight intensity, angle of incidence, temperature, solar panel technology, reflectance efficiency, and thermodynamic efficiency are other factors that must be considered in comprehending their impact on solar panel efficiency.
