Analysis and comparison of different PV technologies for determining the optimal PV panels- A case study in Mohammedia , Morocco.

Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis and comparison of three different photovoltaic technologies of silicon module: Amorphous silicon (a-Si), polycrystalline silicon (pc-Si) and monocrystalline silicon (mc-si) with 2 KWp for each one of theme, connected to the grid, when they are exposed to the same real sun conditions over a one year period under the meteorological conditions of Mohammedia (Morocco) ,to determine the optimal PV power system in the region. For this aim ,the amount of energy generated by each system, cost analysis, annual incomes, breakeven points, annual CO2 emissions avoided, installation area occupied by the system and total weights of each system are evaluated for each panel type used in the installed system and potential energy to be generated by solar energy in the region was considered. Following energy generation, which lasted one year, it is concluded that ploy-crystalline silicon panels are the most optimal panel for the region because it yields the highest annual incomes and the shortest breakeven point for the investors.
