Study of Photovoltaic Systems’ Performances with Different Module Types

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of the work is to study and compare the performance of photovoltaic (PV) generators built with different types of panels and operating in real weather conditions. The paper reports the results from an experimental and theoretical study of systems with PV modules manufactured according to different technologies and using different materials. The experiment was carried out at a research platform for PV systems developed by the authors, built and located at an experimental site near the Technical University of Sofia. Based on the obtained results, comparisons are made between the different PV generators for the same operating conditions. The comparison between the theoretical and the experimental results demonstrates a good level of overlap.
