Reported annual and monthly electricity generation losses resulting from snow accumulations on photovoltaic systems show that annual electricity generation losses were less than 10% in most climates; however, monthly generation losses throughout the winter were generally higher than 25%.
The estimated monthly electricity generation and recorded PV gen- eration in the Bacadweyne site. production. Furthermore, high temperatures can cause the operating and reduced energy production. The combined effects of dust and heat reducing their overall economic viability. On the other hand, mitigation of photovoltaic (PV) panels in Somalia.
Conclusion Snow cover induced electricity generation loss typically accounts for less than 10% of annual electricity generation from PV systems, but can make up a significant portion of the expected winter generation. Snow cover during winter months negatively impacts the quantity and reliability of PV generation.
More than ten prediction methods have been created to estimate the amount of PV electricity generation loss caused by snow. They can be grouped into direct electricity generation loss prediction models and snow cover prediction models.
Table 1contains the winter monthly electricity generation losses that have been reported by previous studies. For the range of tilt angles most commonly used in PV systems, the monthly loss is over 25% and can be as high as 100% , , . 3. Influence factors
