A new method for evaluating the power generation and generation efficiency of solar photovoltaic system is proposed in this paper. Through the combination of indoor and outdoor solar radiation and photovoltaic power generation system test, the method is applied and validated. The following conclusions are drawn from this research.
Photovoltaic power generation is affected by a variety of factors, such as PV panel material, inclination angle, and solar radiation intensity. Electricity generation efficiency is not always the same, and its performance can vary due to differences in module design, installation and environment [7, 8].
Dahlioui et al. showed that solar radiation greatly affects the output power of PV modules, but airborne pollutant particles reduce their power generation efficiency by 15 %. Yue et al. found that suitable orientation of PV panels is beneficial to increasing the power generation of PV systems.
The P-V curve fluctuates more at solar radiation of 800–1300 W/m 2 compared to 100–700 W/m 2, which indicates that the higher the solar radiation, the greater its effect on the electrical power. To predict the maximum output power of PV modules under different radiation, the output power and voltage are firstly dimensionless by Eq.
Finally, the difference in annual power generation between photovoltaic modules in winter and summer was evaluated. The results show that the power generation in Tianjin is 87.61 kWh and 26.62 kWh in summer and winter, respectively, and the photovoltaic power generation in summer can reach three times of that in winter.
The 13 sets of maximum power points corresponding to different radiations are shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 6. The P-V curve of photovoltaic modules under different radiation. Fig. 6 shows the data for the output power and voltage of the PV module under 100 W/m 2 - 1300 W/m 2 radiation conditions.
