PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC MONOCRYSTALLINE MODULE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 8
Abstract
There are so many important issues regarding Solar Photovoltaic Market such as performance, quality and reliability etc for rising photovoltaic Market Worldwide. The study was under taken using solar photovoltaic test kit exists in the solar lab of the College of Renewable Energy and Environmental Engineering, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Dist.: Banaskantha, in the State of Gujarat. The location is situated on the geographical latitude of 24019’ N and longitude 720 19’ E. Current (I), voltage (V) of the module were measured corresponding to different value of resistance and subsequently power was calculated. Based on these observations, I-V curve was plotted. The experiment was conducted under two different modes, in first mode performance of Photovoltaic Monocrystalline module was evaluated by manually tracking of module from east to west to follow the sun (single axis tracking) and selecting tilt angle equivalent to latitude of location. Second mode was fixed orientation of module facing South direction at different tilt angles such as at Latitude angle, Latitude-100, Latitude+100 and Latitude+150. From the results, At tilt angle of latitude of location, When module is under manual tracking mode, 28.14% more power generation were found with respect to that of Under fixed orientation mode of module facing South direction. (i.e. under manual tracking mode, maximum power generation of 9.918 W was recorded, When ambient temperature, module temperature and insolation were 31.20C, 48.4 0C and 994 W/M2 respectively. Whereas under fixed orientation mode, maximum power generation of 7.74 W was recorded, When ambient temperature, module temperature and insolation were 39.60 C, 53 0C and 996W/M2 respectively).In case of mono crystalline module at different tilt angles in term of various parameters, maximum average power generation of 7.23W was recorded at tilt angle of latitude+150. When average value of ambient temperature, module temperature, insolation and module efficiency were such as 33.770C, 44.330C, 785.5 W/M2, 10.94% respectively. Under fixed orientation mode of module facing South direction, When module was placed at tilt angle of (laatitude+15) degree, Maximum module efficiency of 22.46 % was found when power output was and ambient temperature, module temperature and insolation were 2.74W, 30.30C, 29.70C and 137W/m2 respectively. The result revealed that current, voltage and power correlate with the solar insolation and temperature. Module efficiency increases as tilt angle increases
