How does power loss affect the performance of a photovoltaic system?
The performance of a photovoltaic (PV) system is highly affected by different types of power losses which are incurred by electrical equipment or altering weather conditions. In this context, an accurate analysis of power losses for a PV system is of significant importance.
What causes a photovoltaic system to lose power?
Through the elimination of loss factors in the photovoltaic systems, these losses must be minimized. Factors that may cause SPV system losses include environmental factors such as wind, dust, snow, heat, temperature, and other losses caused by device components such as cables, inverters, and batteries.
Why is mitigation of system losses important in photovoltaic power plants?
Apart from being a clean source of energy, photovoltaic (PV) power plants are also a source of income generation for its investors and lenders. Therefore, mitigation of system losses is crucial for economic operation of PV plants. Combined losses due to soiling, shading and temperature in PV plants go as high as 50%.
