STUDY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR POWER PLANT PARAMETERS

Abstract

Solar power plants are widespread, but the dependence of the electricity they generate on various environmental conditions has not been fully studied. The purpose of this work is to investigate the parameters of a 9.68 kW solar power plant in a homestead at different times of the year. During the study, the main parameters of the solar power plant were determined: Temperature 0C and illumination W/m². Analyzing the accumulated data, it was found that the time of year affects the power generated by the power plant under uniform illumination. The maximum power generated by the power plant was achieved in spring with 1045 W/m² solar energy illumination and 28°C surface temperature. The lowest power generated by the power plant was recorded in autumn (October), when the electric power was only 2.36 kW at a temperature of 17.8°C and a solar illumination of 956 W/m².
