Basic theory of PV panel adjustment

• You cannot avoid these effect. • The best things you can do are to:

- Tilt PV plane the same as your latitude.- Face true north or true south.

PV

same angle as latitude

Face to N or S (as possible as

you can)

Avoidable. Try to find good location

• Definition of PV’s Rated Capacity

“Rated capacity 1kW” means( Power )

If insolation is 1 kW/m2, this PV can output 1 kW.

( Energy )If PV has 1 kW/m2 insolation in 1 hour, this PV can generate 1 kWh

Rated Capacity “1 kW”

1 (kW/m2)

Output 1 kW

Rated Capacity “1 kW”

1 (kW/m2)

Generate 1 kWh for 1 hour

Note: This is the definition that,we use metric system here.

( Accumulated Energy )If PV has 1 kWh/m2day, this PV can generate 1 kWh for a day

In resource assessment, “Accumulated Insolation (energy)” is used widely.

Daily accumulated insolation kWh/m2day

Monthly accumulated insolation kWh/m2month

Annual accumulated insolation kWh/m2year

• High-efficiency PV ( Single crystal PV 15% )

• Low-efficiency PV (Amorphous PV 8 %)

Module is larger.

If you use “rated capacity”, you don’t have to consider about efficiency.

• Place Pyranometer on thehorizontal plane.

• Make sure no shadow is cast all day long.

• Clean upper window frequently.

Insolation data is very common in meteorology. Ask your meteorological observatory for local insolation data.

• Calculate “Load Factor ( Syaytem Utilization parameter)"• To estimate various capacities of PV system, calculate Unified Parameter,

called " Load Factor (System Utilization Parameter )".• This parameter means “Annual average output power” of unit capacity of

the PV system.
