Performance analysis of different Photovoltaic Technologies

Abstract

This paper deals with the performance analysis of ELKEM and POLY SILICON Photovoltaic Technologies. The output powers of ELKEM and POLY SILICON Photovoltaic (PV) cells are compared by considering the effect of irradiance, panel temperatures, climatic conditions during the months of May to August. The ELKEM and POLY SILICON Photovoltaic cells graphs are plotted to estimate the performance of each array. The performance of the four arrays namely elkem-bottom, elkem-top, poly-bottom and poly-top are compared with each other. The power generated is fed to the grid and is examined continuously for stability and reliability.
